PPP came out in their last poll tweeting the day before that Perry was in double digits. The next day they released the poll at 9 pm and Perry was at 9%
PPP is a joke. It is the least reliable in my opinion. I don't know why RCP uses them instead of ARG in their polling data for the RCP Average.
Creating “reality” is what it’s all about. What is or is not reported drives the masses in the direction the overlords desire. Resistance is futile, report for reprograming.
Seems The Left has it’s new plan in operation: get Ron Paul nominated. Talk about an easy target to destroy! If there is anyone “zany” in the field, it’s Ron Paul. No wonder they want him to win. Even he could make Obama look good by comparison - and that’s almost impossible.
RCP has Romney 20.9% Paul 19.9% Paul could be leading with the margin of error. He has been going after Gingrich hard in ads Romney is next. People have had it with the Establishment.
PPP, or Public Policy Polling is well named. It is owned and operated by the Democrat party (truly) and it’s purpose is to create public policy. It is a propagada machine designed to coerce and manipulate voters into voting for the supposed front runner, and drive voters away from the candidate the Democrats fear the most, i.e. Newt.
Here is Rasmussen from 12/15:
Iowa: Romney 23%, Gingrich 20%, Paul 18%
This seems not so far off from the PPP poll, in that Paul is doing very well.
I truly hate to break it to you, but the race is near enough to the margin of error.
Newt, Romney and Paul are all tied for first. It is a matter of turnout. Ron Paul brings younger and more liberal supporters. Romney brings older establishment types. Newt splits this, and brings a little from each group.
Perry, Santorum and Bachmann are also tied and one of them will get 4th place and play in New Hampshire, the other two will be done.
If Paul wins, expect him to raise another 4 million for NH and SC. If he does win, it will be because 10,000 Democrat “Occupiers” showed up. Iowa Caucuses have instant registration. So anyone can show up with an Iowa ID and vote. Even lifelong Democrats, as long as they do have proof they live in the precinct.
This threat is very very very real.
“Refudiate”?
Who would actually answer these calls and give information?
The left’s promoting that crackpot as much as possible right now. They tried to paint the GOP as “Tea Party” and it failed because mainstream America identifies with the Tea Party ideology. So now they are trying to identify the libertarian crackpot Paul as GOP. Then the crackpot's cult blindly pump dollars into his campaign so that he can smear serious GOP candidates across the board, from true conservative to RINO. It is a Democrat dream.
Time for the GOP to tell that nut to take a hike..... permanently. He can run on a Kook Fringe Party ticket.
I don’t know if PPP is reliable or not, but Gov. Branstad was throwing a VERY large hint a week or two ago on TV that Paul was in a great position to take Iowa.
Since pollsters don’t call cell phones..and most kids don’t have land lines..I would guess that Paul is ahead and maybe ahead by a substantial number.
