This slightly eases the sting of their Wisconsin poll. Good to know that Meg won't be buying the governor's mansion that easily though.

As much as I want Whitman to win, I honestly would not mind a Brown victory. It's hard to explain.

     PPP's last two polls of CA-Gov both showed numbers that were rather favorable to Brown compared to other contemporary polls. This is more interesting, though, taken in conjunction with recent PPP polls showing the Republicans surging in WI-Sen & WV-Sen.

It might be that they're using a significantly different turnout model, which might overweight in some areas and underweight in others.

Or maybe they're right and everyone else was wrong.
