PPP should be PPPP for piss poor partisan poll.
Public Policy Polling (PPP): Publishing all the polls that fit our political bias!
The PPP polls are quite good if my understanding is correct, and so I’m not buying the lame excuse that PPP decided not to release this once since not consistent with Obama’s re-election last fall. What does the one have to do with the other, other than that I smell a RAT? PPP may have just blown its credibility.
So...
An opportunity for the single biggest boost to their credibility came up, and they DIDN’T TRUST THEIR OWN POLLING DATA!!!
Good move.
They witheld their data because they knew it would weaken the cries of “Voter suppression” by the Dim-o-bulbs...
Mr. Jensen either doesn’t have much confidence in his own polls (which calls into question their methodology and accuracy) or values his own opinion/view above his own polls (which is another problem altogether). Both are very problematic for him. However, the real story is probably that he didn’t want to release the poll for fear of encouraging the pro-gun movement.
Maybe just as well not to publish it while voting was going on because it may have suppressed the recall vote with those that maybe deciding to stay home if it appeared that the recall would be successful.
They know this was a disaster for Democrats. Giron's district is heavily Democrat and Morse only got close because of massive vote fraud by Colorado College students.
It was a poorly disguised effort to influence the vote in favor of the democrats but it backfired.
Bull chips! The NRA follows gun owners not the other way around. We, the people of CO, reject your commie vision of our state!
“in a district that Barack Obama won by almost 20 points, I figured there was no way that could be right and made a rare decision not to release the poll.”
He is, of course, assuming BHO REALLY did legitimately win by 20 points, which could be the fatal flaw in his polling data.
No, there was no voter fraud in 2012.(/sarcasm) A 32% swing in less than a year? I'm sorry, but that simply does not pass the smell test. No person that voted for Obama in 2012 is going to be against gun control less than a year later. This woman should have won easily, but she was removed with great prejudice.
In other words, PPP withheld the poll because it might discourage Democrats.
The thing that struck me about the results of this election Is how upside down the results were, with the other DemonCrap losing by only 2 percentage points, while this witch lost by about 12. Then it struck me. The DemonCraps, thinking the witch would win on her own, directed all their election theft efforts into the other race, which they still lost, but only because the honest votes were so heavily against them that it was impossible to steal the election.
Interestingly, the poll also found 68 percent supporting background checks...
Just d-mn!
There is probably some chance that the opportunity to “pull the flush handle on ANY politician” padded these numbers a bit.
I seriously doubt that this is a rare decision. PPP has just lost any credibility it ever had. I have long maintained that polls are selectively released to appease political or financial interests. If CBS commissions a poll, they will get the best results (from CBS' perspective) possible. Stuff like this just confirms my suspicions about this.
