I noticed that RCP doesn't include the PPP tracking poll...

[WI_DEM]

probably because they think its a 'democratic firm' and yet they always use the Rasmussen tracking poll. Ras is clearly a GOP firm and has GOP bias. It's funny how these polling sites pick and choose what they decide to use.

1. I've mentioned that for the last couple of weeks.

they used to include national PPP polls, but now all of the polls seem to be gone from national poll list. it's very strange that they would remove them.

2. RCP uses PPP all the time.

It's in the NC pool right now.

For whatever reason it's not in the current national trend.

3. Yes, they use state polls, but not there daily tracking poll, that's what I was writing about.

4. They only dropped them because they are showing a trend to Obama...

Can't really see any other reason if they are still using their state polling.

5. RCP is a republican shill

RCP is a Republican shill.

They pick and choose which polls are favorable to Romney and then include them, while leaving out the ones favorable to Obama.

They include IBD/TIPP while at the same time they won't include PPP tracking.
(its funny, because they just recently started including IBD/TIPP when it was showing Romney up by 5, so they included it to make the averages better for Romney, BUT then it turned around and now shows Obama leading AND they can't remove it because now they are stuck with it)


As for PPP, well they also choose which state PPP polls that include, usually just include the ones favorable to Romney.

PPP came out with a poll of VA about 3-4 days ago that showed Obama up by 5, AND they still haven't included it because then the average would tilt in Obama's direction.

Yet on the very same day PPP came out with another state poll that showed a tied race in one of the states and RCP included it.

So to recap they had 2 PPP polls on the same day AND they included the one favorable to Romney WHILE excluding the one that was really favorable to President Obama.

6. The worst is the RCP for Virginia

Totally ignored all the recent pro Obama polling here.

7. PPP does the tracking poll with SEIU.

RCP won't put polls on there that are commissioned by outside groups.
Which is convenient for RCP. They won't put Reuters/Ipsos on either but who knows why. Or yougov. Or UPI (which is actually right leaning but shows a tie for Obama). Or a bunch of other polls. Very selective. Pollster and Poll Tracker put all the polls on their sites, even if they are Republican run polls. They show an R or D next to certain non neutral polls. Seems more fair.
