(11,142 posts)If every day of a tracking poll were considered an independent poll, tracking polls would have much greater weight in the average than non-tracking polls.
Also, there may be some data overlap in each release. Many tracking polls drop the least recent day and replace it with a new day, leaving constant the days in the middle. Including such polls would double and triple count the same data. (I don't know whether this applies to the Reuters poll specifically.)
