So much for PPP being a democrat pollster https://twitter.com/ppppolls

(33,497 posts)and basically I don't find PPP a Democratic or Republican pollster--I find them to be (usually) pretty accurate and responsible. They constantly have GOP idiots tweeting a bunch of idiocy about their polls and now I get the feeling that democrats can't accept that Obama's lead in WI is 2-points as if WI is some GD Blue state without taking into account that we lost the recall & in 2010 we lost Feingold and the governor's race, and that in 2000 and 2004 Gore and Kerry won by razor thin margins. 2012 will not be a blow out like 2008 was.

I think PPP did not set out to get this lower D voter ID # and older voters in their sample, it just occurred naturally. If the sample is in between this and the one in 2008, then I think WI will be fine. It will not be like 2008 but it will probably be plus 5.
But PPP is a good pollster, no need to whine. Romney got a small bounce but it is not insurmountable for Obama to get a bounce in the next two debates, VP and Pres.
