PPP - National GOP Presidential Primary Poll

[Agorism]

Something is seriously wrong with PPP's national polling.

I just don't what it is..

If Gallup was polling independents along with Republicans while PPP was polling only "likely Republican primary voters," that makes PPP a more accurate gauge, I think, unfortunately.

On the other hand, that also applies to the 16% in Iowa number, which is more important. The national polls are more important perception-wise and in that regard, the one is as good as the other.

Gotta love the cognitive dissonance on these boards.

It's not cognitive dissonance. Every poll is at odds with this one. Why should we trust this one? It is way outside of what others have him at. There has to be a reason for that. Ron Paul doesn't just lose half his votes in a couple of weeks.

those sound about right actually.

4% - 18-29 - I don't buy it.

Maybe it's supporters telling them they hope they get hit by a hurricane?

Guys, try to keep in mind that even in a perfect polling world, 1 out of 20 of those polls is going to produce results outside the margin of error. That's why RCP aggregates them, to smooth any errors out over time. The key is to look at the trends over time, and right now, the good Doctor is trending the right way. This poll notwithstanding.

gallup included indies.

this one is usual repubs. sounds right.

That's true, but simply adding independents to the poll shouldn't make it jump from 6% to 13%. At most adding independents might make a 2% difference. PPP has always had some erratic polls.
