Remains tight? Seriously, there are sixteen months until the election so I feel confident in saying that certainly 90 percent of the general population doesn’t even know who is challenging who let alone what even three of their positions are. As far as I am concerned to call this a race at this point is simply PPP trying to form a meme for their preferred liberal candidate so that if they supposedly pull ahead they can claim the other candidate (which they were biased against in the first place) has a hemmoraging candidacy.
This.
PPP is a very busy left of center polling operation looking to shape media cycles to prove that all is well in the Democrat camp. They also set up polling questions in an attempt to make Republicans look like ignorant knuckledraggers. The real story here is that this race is already close.
That said, I do not dismiss polls. PPP is at least somewhat reputable. The 2012 elections will be tough. No one should have any delusions that it will be easy to beat any of these libs.
