Nope. We know they are full of crap and just like to gauge how full of crap they are.

PPP's final polls of the cycle in Florida and North Carolina suggest that they may be the closest states in the country this year. In Florida Obama leads 50/49, but to be more specific 473 respondents chose Obama and 472 picked Romney. It's a similar story in North Carolina- the candidates are tied at 49 there based on rounded numbers, but if you break it out to decimal points Romney's up 49.4% to 49.2% with 457 respondents having chosen him to 455 for Obama. Both states are likely in for a long night on Tuesday.

Since the mid-seventies, or so, when the Legacy Media reports races “too-close-to-call” it almost always means their Party is losing.

MMMM. That is interesting. Until I retired, I never really paid attention to polls, but that is a very good conclusion and likely scenario.
Florida will be Romney
I always vote for the peron I disapprove of don’t you?
Why keep quoting “PPP” polls? Do Freepers live on distress?
It’s a pain because popular sites like Real Clear Politics use them in their averages. So when PPP, Marist and the NY Slimes oversample their polls it kills RCP.
What I want to see is what kind of lame excuse they will use.
#1 guess in my book. Blame it on Sandy
So they admit that their polling methodology is worthless then if it can’t do stuff like predict the outcome of elections.
I would be very, very surprised if the final voting tallies are anywhere close to PPP’s numbers. NC should be solidly in Romney’s column election night and I suspect Romney will have a decent margin of victory in Florida. Too many other polls have pointed to North Carolina being all but lost to Obama and Romney performing well in the Florida “corridor” to buy PPP’s poll.
Do you think they are over sampling in the job performance and under sampling in the favorable numbers posted
Too close my eye...Romney will win FLORIDA.
I thought after yesterdays CNN D+11 national poll that I had seen the most biased polling but PPP has out did them. LOL
I think Romney wins North Carolina by 10 or more points after seeing this poll. Florida by at least 5.
I’m in FL - first Orlando, now Naples.
Obama signs nowhere, Romney signs all over the place. People opening talking about the hell of the last 4 years.

As an actively engaged and informed activist in Florida, literally in the middle of the Florida battle, it amuses me that the Left plays these games with the polling numbers.
As mentioned here by others, such shenanigans are good cover for the voter fraud in which the Democrats engage as a part of their ongoing strategy. They also use these sad tactics to keep their base encouraged and continuing to volunteer until the end of the race.
Trust me... Obama is not ahead or even tied in Florida. Romney will win Florida by +7 or more...
Enough to cancel out the Democrat voter fraud...
Enough to allow for a clear determination about the results in Florida tomorrow night after the polls close - no waiting for days.
Enough to deliver 29 electoral votes from Florida to the Romney/Ryan ticket that will result in a clear win for “The Come Back Team” with a total of 330+ electoral votes;
And, will result in an announcement tomorrow night that we have (finally) a new President-Elect... Mitt Romney...
IF NC is considered one of the closest in the nation, Then it WILL BE a Romney landslide.NC will go for Romney by a MINIMUM 8%.
300 +
Obama won NC by about 4000 votes . This time around I see aFRACTION of the Obama signs and bumper stickers I saw last time, and far more Romney stuff then McCain had. At least here the pollster must be on crack....
