The group commissioning the poll isn't going to affect the result, if the pollster is sound (which PPP is).  What it might affect is whether the poll gets released or not.  If this poll had been Trump+4, the gun control group might have decided to sit on it.  So yes, it's more likely that polls commissioned by advocacy groups are likely to favor their preferred side, but this is because the unfavorable ones are less likely to be released, not because the favorable poll has been manipulated.

Assuming this behavior is true, what can we conclude from it?  We probably need to look at the totality of all such polls, from groups on both ends of the spectrum.  If there are more such polls being released by one side than the other, then that side has more favorable polls that they can release -- i.e., they're ahead.
Of course it is. Clients drive the narrative. And also note what's NOT released here. The internals, like they are in just about every other PPP poll (even the advocacy ones). Come on now. It's like you all were born yesterday.

So much for adding five to internal and advocacy polls.

This poll is neither an internal nor was it conducted by an advocacy group.
Yeah, because Republicans are universally for gun control.

Right over your head, as usual.
Oh conducted. Because advocacy groups generally conduct polls now and don't hire a pollster. I got it. OK.

My apologies for actually thinking that polls conducted for advocacy groups, when released by said advocacy group, are special sauced in any way. Especially when PPP is usually transparent with internals, but they are not here.

Comeon red, "green" and faux blue avatars, you are better than this.

"Seriously?" should just change his username to "Sweatingly?" or "Nervously?"


Can you make your username a .gif by chance? I have a great idea for him.
You are all such nice people, ridiculing those that dare challenge your world view. Such peaches of humanity.
