Those stories tend to be hard hitting and meticulously researched.Įvery election season, they scour the polls and sift through the dross in order to supply readers not only with the results of a representative sampling of individual polls-which, as I note in a forthcoming column elsewhere, are often little more than a form of fan fiction-but also with the valuable “RCP average,” a kind of polling gold standard that pundits and prognosticators eagerly anticipate.įinally, RealClear provides a constantly evolving digest of the news of the day arranged according to a handful of topics and printed in a single column down the left side of its home page. Over the past several years, under the rubric RealClearInvestigations, the site has also been publishing its own incisive and independent investigative reporting on a wide range of issues. I do so in part because of the range of its links-the editors cull many of the best columns from all sides of the political debate, so it’s a handy way to stay au courant-and in part for its expanding subsections on books, science, religion, defense, and other cultural topics. One of the few websites I check in on almost every day is RealClearPolitics.
