In Wisconsin they broke for Obama, though not by a huge margin. Things always act a certain way, until they don't.

PPP got one right (WI) but they have shown big differences, both ways in PA.

last time I checked 54-42 = 12, not 3.  Are my math skills eroding?

It's 45-42, according to the Press release, and PPP is called it a "statistical dead heat."

makes more sense, especially since there were also 13% undecided.

I still hate that phrase  - "statistical dead heat"  - it's a falsehood.  IF this were a totally perfectly done poll, it would NOT be a statistical dead heat.  It would be MUCH more likely Obama is ahead than Hillary.  That said, I don't believe this poll is accurate at all.

Well Ill believe the countless polls showing Obama trailing over this one having him ahead.  I have to give them credit for not fudging their numbers to make it look like the rest.

I'm not really buying it, but they'll look like geniuses if they're right.

PPP still has time to put out a poll showing a wild swing to one candidate.

I trust whatever PPP puts out right beforehand.  They did pretty well in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Texas on the last try IMO.

I'm thinking we'll get one more from them on either Monday or Tuesday.  They like to sneak one in at the last minute.
