22. Oh! Sorry, my bad.
As far as PPP, they do the same robo-polling as Rasmussen, which is problematic to me when trying to poll on complex issues, but not so much when looking at a simple horse race like a political campaign. I like their sample size in contrast with Rasmussen (more than 2 to 1 larger), but I do take issue with their Dem-to-GOP weighting. 46 percent of the PPP poll's sample were Democrats, and 33 percent were Republicans, with 21 percent not affiliated. While I don't have numbers in front of me (and they're kinda tough to Google because Ohio is one of the states that doesn't have party registration), that 13 percent gap between Democrats and Republicans is almost certainly not indicative of Ohio's actual demographic makeup, which skews the poll in favor of the Democrats.
