View Full Version : An example of why I think PPP picks poll demographics to 'shape the debate' between rating

between periods (the two weeks before an election) when polls are rated. Their polls seem shaped by the issue they are pushing, here gun control:

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls now
Our New Hampshire poll is finding real anger toward Kelly Ayotte over her no vote on background checks

I'm sure some Dems are angry, who would never vote for her, but when the actual poll comes out, I will look at the makeup of Dems to GOP in the breakdown, and independents which 'lean' in what direction, since a third of NH is independent.

The thing is constant pollsters know which people have certain issues, and CAN pick those people. This is a declared 'Democrat' polling firm, and they seem to have a house effect, at minimum, imho.

The same PublicPolicyPolling ‏ blocked me on twitter while i asked them on their rating system and how they are polling them, its pointless though.
