I think the reason PPP consistently stays the polling average is that most of the herding towards the mean at the end are done by swingy or junk polls to salvage their reputation while the more established ones are more consistent. Ras and Gravis actually recalled polls because they where outliers for heaven's sake! PPP is one of the better pollsters so I don't get the hate towards them.
