PPP was damn accurate this cycle

There final national tracking poll had Obama at 50% and Romney at 48% which is what the popular vote is currently showing.

Once Florida is called for Obama all of their state polls will have accurately forcast the winner--even in NC where they had Romney up by 0.2%

all those battleground polls (AS A GROUP) just before the election. I admire that. PPP now has powerful evidence that they should be regarded as a top of the line pollster. I just wish they could figure out a way to poll cell phones.

And got criticized by so many Repubs. This is what actual polling looks like.

I guess robopolling is not the problem. It is Rasmussen's voter ID screen. Too favorable to Repubs. Survey USA is a robopoller too and did not do that bad either.

They were very good In senate races.They even had Tester up by 2 and It looks like he won.Even Chuck Todd admitted he will
probally win.

As I say trust PPP.Even when they have bad results for us they are probally right.Some like to bring up wis recall but PPP had
Walker up by 3.

RAS and Gallup now discredited.The irony Is Zogby Is now more credable after last night than eather RAS or Gallup.
