PPP has a bias of 1.6 points. For Republicans.

J.J., does this claim stand uncontested, or will you debunk it in favor of the 3 point Dem bias you documented?

On the flip side a lot of Dems here were busting WAA, and it turns out they had no statistical bias at all (D+0.1).
WAA had polls that were far off in both directions. I don't think anyone denied this.


I wasn't one busting WAA for its bias, but because of its high variance. Despite having a very low bias, their error rate was greater than the median.
