Well, PPP didn't bother to publish the screening questions	jeff47	Nov 2015	#35
How do you know they won't/didn't do that?	MADem	Nov 2015	#50
I read their report. Link's at the bottom of the press release quoted in the OP.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#53
That question tells me this--they didn't include	MADem	Nov 2015	#56
Except that wasn't in their methodology.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#60

Polling paid for by a candidate is never taken very seriously	jfern	Nov 2015	#52
Where's Bernie's glowing internal poll, then?	MADem	Nov 2015	#57
Bernie doesn't have a SuperPAC paying for biased polls	jfern	Nov 2015	#59
He didn't have "campaign advisers" either...until he did. nt	MADem	Nov 2015	#61

Because Clinton didn't pay for one. She paid for one tonight.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#45

oh yeah--those internet polls!!	riversedge	Nov 2015	#51
Apparently sponsored by Correct the Record.	Weidman	Nov 2015	#58
Conducted by PPP who are the most accurate.	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#64
Read the report.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#66
In other words, you don't have any evidence there is something wrong with the poll	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#70
Uh, those are problems with the poll.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#72
Those are not problems with the poll, they are lack of documentation so far	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#76
Because PPP doesn't know how to describe polling methodology in their reports?	jeff47	Nov 2015	#77
No the bullshit is desperately attacking the most reliable agency because you	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#78
No, that's not all this is. Read the damn report yourself.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#80
