What's an RCP poll?
 
Googleing around, I found this RCP poll, which doesn't tell me much
the 'details' buttons didn't tell me much either except that somebody
likes the President and don't like the Congress.

+ 28% ? then at the bottom - 2.8% ?

RCP Average: +28.8% Details
Approve 60.8%
Disapprove 32.0%

OK, I didn't know that. who does the Poll? and how do they make their
calculations? Just curious if you know, because I sure don't
