primary-poll-tracker is the Electoral Statistics tool to track national standing in the 2016 Presidential primaries. Methodology is explained here.

PollFetcher.py fetches the polls from Pollster and puts them in a MySQL database. The script first adjusts the MySQL database according to the candidate lists dem-candidates.txt and repub-candidates.txt and then fetches polling for all of those candidates

PollAggregator.py then goes through candidate-by-candidate and runs them through a Kalman filter (which resides in KalmanFilter.py), as described here and then outputs charts such as those titled Dem.png and Repub.png.
