Interesting that even these dudes can't give better numbers to Evers/Biden. (Also it seems that the poll was done for a progressive third group and these polls tend to be much more dem friendly than the polls they are doing for themselves).

If that's how you want to spin this.

Regardless, the crosstabs look fine. I'm also interested to see how pollsters fare without Trump on the ballot.

He’s too good for this state, but I’m of course still rooting for six more years of RoJo!

High five, Young Conservative (we’ll do it again)

[SnowLabrador]

Johnson must not be underestimated. He's won twice, once against a popular three-term incumbent and once after being triaged.

He exemplifies the conservative principal of being a whore. He's also even less than a businessman than Trump, he got his business by being a gold digger.

..

He won in 2010 when Scott Walker was running for Gov and Paul Ryan was the Maj whip with Boehner and Canter Paul Ryan and Walker are gone

Rs act like Wzi is an R state Jim Doyle was elected Gov 2002-2010 and Baldwin won by 10 in 2018, Hillary was the only one to lose it

What do you have against whores

[Xing]

Probably not going to matter, unfortunately.

You are really pessimistic about WI, Johnson will lose

Which crosstabs ? There is nothing, that should make you even more sceptic about this poll.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's a Registered voter poll, how is Johnson at 35 approvals but Evers is only up 1

[DaleCooper]

I don't trust PPP.

How those polled voted in 2020 and the party breakdown being slightly more Republican than Democrat.

PPP is the same to MI, WI and PA as Mason Dixon is to OH, FL and NC.

They are very accurate, the D's aren't gonna win the South, we are gonna win 291 EC wall

The 35/48 number is what they wanted to make him look vulnerable. Too bad the other 17% undecided are overwhelmingly R-leaning. I mean, why didn't they poll a Democratic opponent? Maybe they just innocently forgot lol

Btw, pay no attention to their makeup of 2020 results, this is a sleazy trick they use to make their polls seem fair. I recall many polls of Iowa, Texas, Florida, etc. where the 2016 makeup was spot on but the poll was 7-10 points off.

....this is a sleazy trick they use to make their polls seem fair.....

Why do I even bother?

[BudgieForce]

I don't trust PPP.

They were one of the most accurate pollsters in 2012. But the Trump years have not been kind to them.

[libertpaulian]

Wisconsin is a tied state...news at 11.

Because we should learn from our mistakes of mindlessly believing polling outlets with a track record of deception.

I suspect that too. I remember Tillis having approval ratings like this in early 2019, and we all know how that turned out.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

NC is now an R state but WI is very much a D state

That's why we have aggregates.

Regardless, out right dismissing a poll isn't any better than mindlessly believing it or worse yet, unskewing it.

I defended them in the lead-up to 2020 but I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt again.
