NC Senate: Day after PPP comes out with a poll Burr 38-33 lead, Ras has Burr up by 15 |
|
RASMUSSEN:
2010 Senate 52% Burr (R), 37% Marshall (D) (chart)
Favorable / Unfavorable Richard Burr: 56 / 38 (chart) Elaine Marshall: 44 / 43
PPP: PPP is a NC based pollster, so I trust them on this poll a little bit more:
Richard Burr begins the month of July with a 5 point lead over Elaine Marshall, 9 points less than the advantage Elizabeth Dole had over Kay Hagan at the same point in the cycle two years ago.
Burr's at 38% to 33% for Marshall and a surprising 10% for Libertarian Michael Beitler.
FURTHERMORE WHILE BURR HAS A PLUS 18 POINT FAVORABLE RATING IN RAS, IN PPP IT'S NOT SO GOOD:
Burr's relatively anonymity for an incumbent Senator can be seen in his approval numbers. 28% of voters still have no opinion of him, with those who do splitting negatively. 34% like the job he's doing while 39% disapprove.

1. Rasmussen is only credible right before an election. |
|
Overbiased for the conservative candidates up until the big day comes, then they drop the bias so that they can maintain credibility.

2. I KNEW he would do this. He isn't a pollster, he just tries to drive a narrative until just before |

4. Ras is all about creating a (false) narrative, pushing talking points, etc. |

6. Not only is ppp a NC based polling service |
|
They are a Democratic party affiliated polling service. Can they be unbiased? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Policy_Polling

It's just that some polls give me a false sense of security. I've been keeping an eye on the KY polls for a while now. Every poll save one had Paul with a big lead. The one that had Conway leading was Kos. It later came out that Kos was getting bad data. PPP a more trusted poll says the race is tied. Every other poll has Paul in the lead. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/ky/kentucky_senate_paul_vs_conway-1148.html
