Wasn't there a national poll earlier this year that PPP ended up never releasing?

Yes, but sometimes poll samples just produce very strange results. For example that 30% of Democrats back the Republican over Hillary Clinton.

That's why they are not releasing it to the public, because it's so off compared with previous polls.

The same happened in the CO recalls: 1/3 Democrats there supported the recall in the poll, while Obama didn't lose more than 5% of Democrats to Romney.

Therefore it's legitimate to hold back the results.

I don't know though why PPP released the poll at all after the recalls ...
