What is a good poll to review for this election as far as reliability/what poll is most accurate?

Not sure which one has been consistently most accurate.

Also Real Clear Politics which gives all kinds of other info like battleground states, electoral maps, past presidential polls, etc.

I wouldn't necessarily pin your analysis on ANY specific poll. Instead, what's often helpful are aggregator sites like Pollster.com, which give you a weighted average of most of the major national polls (and sometimes even statewide polls). They'll also give you links to all the polls, as well as tell you which are polling registered voters vs. likely voters, etc. Here's their latest analysis:

Well....just like everyone else I've ever met, I don't have a crystal ball. But if you want my opinion? I'd say what to make of them is this: think "1964."
