Agree with most of what you say but even general election polls can be inaccurate until the last week or even just a few days.
Polls are fun to track, however, as long as you take them with a grain of salt.
“The BS is overwhelming with this poll.”
PPP has been known to do a “push” poll to get the desired results. This sure looks like another one.
but pols are right and the actual caucus was wrong just ask djt.
Polls are less and less accrate as they become more and more common.
Land line only - never will get me as I am Cell only
Web Based.. sorry.. had to get off floor from laughing..
It's possible that a majority of primary voters just hate Trump. I'd wager that that these voters are more religious than the population at large. Trump's casino and diploma mill businesses, and his multiple adulteries with married women* will count against him big time. Then there's his relentless trash talking reminiscent of ghetto-dwelling scum, which probably doesn't go over well with religious folks.
* The subliminal thought might be - do you really want to vote for a man who might be looking at bedding your wife? That would put an entirely different spin on the neologism cuckservative.
When Trump and Cruz were getting along, they both climbed.
Since they have been fighting Rubio has climbed.
Need to team up and take out the GOPe.
Only Trump, Cruz, and Carson are outsiders. Speak no evil of one another.
* Gallup: Trump Has Highest Unfavorable Rating of Any Candidate Ever
* Gallup Poll: Donald Trump Has Highest Unfavorable Rating of Any Candidate Since 1992 (Townhall)
(Guess if Trump wins Republican nod, can't count on bleed-over votes from other candidates' voters!)
Here comes your nominee ladies and gentlemen:
Rubio.
Looks like Rubio picks up Trump votes. If Trump drops out Rubio is the nominee. He is no worse than the others in the race (or better than either).
Rand Paul and Carson voters will move to Cruz, just like their super PACs.
PPP is a decent polling outfit, but they do have Democrat leanings.
They blew the 2014 cycle for the most part, favoring Democrats, IIRC.
Not to mention the fact that they’ve been tweeting about this “new poll will show Trump’s losing ground”, for days! Kinda throws their validity out the window, on this one.
PPP is a democrat paid poll.
Bingo. A campaign can hire a pollster to create a poll to their liking to push a narrative.
See I’m a Cruz guy but this is worthless, because it’s not just those three. I thought it was a real poll that mattered.
I want Cruz to win over the maniac Fellow NYer, but Trump is up by 20. It ain’t gonna happen.
So i’m prepared for the expected results, and at least it will put a smile on these grumpy Trumpsters for one night!!
:)
Thanks.
Silver’s invincibility will be interesting to see. If it remains or not.
Jump ahead. We’ve picked our candidate, how do they stack up in appearance, standing beside Clinton, in debates, with undecided voters?
Rubio> Will look like a middle school kid telling his sweet old grandma teacher with years of experience she’s wrong.
Cruz> Will look like a lawyer giving a prolonged explanation of why the sweet old grandma’s life and work have not only been a waist of time but damaging to children.
Trump> Will look like a leader showing an old hag, that he can be just as mean and nasty as she can, and to get out of the way and let a real American run the place.
Ouch! The Donald needs to put some ice on it....
Good news for both Rubio and Cruz...both gained relative to the previous PPP poll...
Rubio is getting a media-invested bump....puts him right in the game...
If Cruz is within the margin of error next Tuesday, he has the ground game in NH to potentially win...
Why would it be different this time?
It will be a repeat of 2012 all over again.
Newt & Ricky dueled all the way to the end, and cleared the path for Romney, who seldom rose above 30% in primary results until his nomination became obvious and inevitable.
