PPP is labeled a gold standard when Republicans are leading, but it's back to being a hack firm when a Democrat is up. Interesting.0
It's because it doesn't remotely line up with anything else. Essentially every poll of this race has showed Foley tied or ahead. The only exceptions are YouGov and Vox Populi, but even in those the Malloy lead was 1-2, not 8.
WHAT OTHER POLLS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The last non-Yougov poll in Connecticut was from Quinnipiac at the start of September and they have been a joke this cycle. This has been the only poll from a firm with a decent track record all cycle. Sorry if I trust gold standard PPP over Youcrap and Quinnijoke.
