Perry is toxic, that's nothing new. It's beyond silly to accuse PPP of bias every time a Republican is behind. I mean, Obama's number isn't even that high above what he got in 2008, if they really wanted to pull something, they'd push him over 50%. The only outfit with manipulated polls is a right-wing one.
No its not beyond silly. Any one of the republican candidates in Texas would already have a solid majority of support (50%+) over Obama within the poll. Secondly, Obama's abysmal job approval and national economic metrics should ordinarily be reflected within state polling. My rule for PPP polls - take the result and add 3-5% to the republican candidate if its a swing, lean or red state. With Rasmussen, add 3-5% to the democratic candidate.
