Wheres the aggregated aggregators? This is just four screenshots of polls next to each other

And source links! From those:

So these guys aren’t polling themselves, they’re doing math on available polls. I did the very hard work 😉 of further aggregating them so all 3 or 4 sources are visible with one click. Otherwise it seems we see headlines here and there from just one pollster and they all have different methodologies - nice to just see the landscape with no “Harris/Trump SLAMS Trump/Harris in latest poll (from unknown pollster in Rhode Island)” :)

Ok to be clear you didn’t aggregate the data

Ah not in the sense of re-aggregating the source data, no.

While simply compiling several screenshots of aggregated data views is no feat, one could describe it as a meta-aggregation or second-order aggregation. Do you have a title suggestion in case I were to repost this in the future? Would “meta-aggregation” be less misleading? Or “compiled”, “stitched”, “side-by-side”, “overview”…?

“Overview of poll aggregators” seems more accurate to me?
