PPP was one of the most accurate pollsters in 2010 and 2008 but because of one poll for a special election where they off within the margin of error, they are now a trash poll with a huge Dem bias. Gotcha.

Just saying something over and over and over doesn't make it true. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/search/label/pollster%20ratings There are 12...count them...12 pollsters w/ a better track record than PPP.

And when considering ONLY 2010 results, they were 4th out of 8. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/rasmussen-polls-were-biased-and-inaccurate-quinnipiac-surveyusa-performed-strongly/

Not sure where this myth that PPP is the most accurate pollster came from, but as you can see from Nate Silver's ratings, that just isn't the case.

Thank you for posting this since it shows where Rasmussen is ranked as well. And usually the worst polls for Obama are from Rasmussen. The rest are somewhere in the middle. Including the highly ranked ABC poll which shows Obama up by 3. Do you agree that Obama is probably leading by about 3 points currently, which is also the RCP average (which also absolutely clinched the Wisconsin result)?
