The "PPP leaks stuff about their polls" thread

[Keystone Phil]

Remember, there are 29 delegates outside of the South awarded on Tuesday.

Hawaii isn't the 'South'?

Oh, come on, dude. Don't do that. It's so...J.J.-esque.

[IDS Speaker Ben Kenobi]

But it's JJ! I can't help myself.

[Bacon King]

Well, if you want to get technical, Hawaii doesn't "award" any delegates on Tuesday, because their caucus isn't a binding process (and at any rate, they may not even have a straw poll; I haven't seen confirmation of this).

They're definitely doing a straw poll: http://www.gophawaii.com/2012-presidential-caucus/

ETA: It's also worth noting that polls in Hawai'i won't even close until 2 AM EST. Who knows when results will actually start coming in.

It's south, but not the South.  Note the capital.

Honolulu.

Silly Honolulu. Most cities keep their city limits confined to a 1000 mile radius of their downtown.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Definitely won't be staying up for these results

That is "capital," not "capitol."

Failed.
Honolulu is the capital of Hawai'i.
The capitol of Hawai'i is a certain building within Honolulu.

Yes they do award delegates. They may call it a caucus but in reality is more like a primary with limited polling places and limited hours than an Iowa type Caucus. 17 delegates are awarded proportionally by the results (3 each CD and 11 statewide).

"Obama did very well on our Pennsylvania and North Carolina polls over the weekend. Not buying the drop."

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Illinois poll coming on Sunday night.

[Thomas D]

Illinois poll coming on Sunday night.

I was about to say "Obama. Duh."

But then I remembered. "Oh, the primary."

[A dog on every car, a car in every elevator]

PPP national underway: Romney and Santorum tied.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Getting pretty tired of the national polls. No real point to them. Almost half of the states have already voted.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Romney up by a "healthy margin" in IL.

[Keystone Phil]

Romney up double digits in their survey tonight. I smell another underperformance Tuesday night though...

[Senator Snowstalker]

As someone who actually hates Romney more than Santorum, will you ever acknowledge a Romney win? Winning 72% in Massachusetts must have been "weak for his home state".

[JulioMadrid]

Romney should spend some time in Lousiana. If he wants to get the nomination as soon as possible, he needs Ill + LA. If he carries Illinois but not Louisiana, Santorum will gain momentum, again... And Obama will laugh even more.

...what? Was that meant for me? If so, it doesn't make sense. I never implied 72% was weak for him. I'm saying he'd underperform what the polls show.

Anything from PPP?

Final Illinois numbers: Romney 45, Santorum 30, Gingrich 12, Paul 10


If this turns out to be the case then Romney will pull at least 40 delegates out of this state. Very bad news for Santorum. About over for him.

[Sam Spade]

It was over for Santorum when he announced.  Reality takes a while to set in sometimes, kind of like in 2006.

It's all over but the shouting. Santorum will probably win Louisiana next Saturday but April looks brutal for him. Hard to see how he is seen as viable much longer.
