Democratic Internal Great News!

Democratic Internal Great News!

This has been mentioned before, but PPP is a well known reputable public pollster that also conducts private polling. While this poll is sponsored by another group, they don't conduct the polls.

Freedom poll! This little guy might go down!

[Cashew]

It's happening gif!

Most reputable pollsters are showing this within striking distance. Come on Murphy, kill Rubio's career.

[windjammer]

I'm sceptical

[Heisenberg]

lol. PPP has always found very weak numbers for Rubio, especially in those polls conducted for liberal Democratic groups.

Agree. The only two polls that had Rubio trailing were both PPP polls paid for by left wing advocacy groups.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Is the fiction being dispelled?

[Figueira]

Still Lean R, but this is good news for Murphy compared to previously.

The problem with internals -- even ones conducted by reputable pollsters -- is that, especially if you are a well-funded organization like a SuperPAC, you can conduct as many as you want and then release only the one that reinforces the narrative you want. (Drug companies use a similar tactic; conduct a bunch of studies on the effects of a drug, only publish the one which has the most favorable results).

Even then, Murphy is only up to a tie, not an outright lead, and considering how narrow Rubio's lead is, considering the polling average and early vote data, we should actually expect some polls to show Murphy ahead. Still no reason to be alarmed.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Not buying it.

[DavidB.]

Not buying it.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Not buying it.

[DrScholl]

The DSCC did opt to return to the race. They wouldn't have done that unless there was a real chance.

[Panda Express]

Not surprised. Murphy is an unstoppable titan. D+1

Why does this simple fact not penetrate people's skulls?

Exactly, they aren't gonna release internals with Rubio winning in the high single digits.

I mean, I think Flawless Beautiful Marco is going to win, but I wouldn't dismiss this poll so quickly. It had Hillary +4 (perfectly in line with other polls.)
