NC; PPP: Hagan only up one

47-46 for LCV

If that's the best PPP/LCV (D) can do, things will be interesting in NC on Election Day. It's still Hagan's race to lose.

The supposition that PPP polls for the LCV are bias in any way has no basis in fact.

The proposition that any poll done for an advocacy group should be marked as partial to that advocacy group is just common sense. The pollster is not necessarily calling the shots in these instances; they are working for a client.

It's different if it's a neutral observer like a TV station as opposed to the LCV or Chamber of Commerce. The red hats on here CORRECTLY point at the Chamber bias all the time.

But that's different ... Chamber of Commerce polls tend to favor Republicans, whereas LCV polls tend to favor Democrats. Therefore a LCV poll is automatically more trustworthy than a Chamber of Commerce Poll. Don't you see the logic?

Unfortunately, all I see is logic and a desire for intellectual consistency. That's not to say that PPP ultimately called the shots with the LCV polls. However, there should be full disclosure here. The polls were done for a D-leaning group. Caveat Buck emptor.
