I just got polled from the PPP.

The Public Policy Polling.They asked how I felt about the gov. shutdown,who I blamed for the shutdown and lots of questions about how I feel about the Enviromental Protection Agency and whether I support the EPA being shut down along with the rest of the government.As a lifelong democrat,I'm sure you can imagine how I answered those questions,that being said,I don't think I've been polled in more than a decade.

Sometimes it's the 1% of respondents on either end of the spectrum. I'd hope that the PPP people would report outliers.
