In previous elections PPP polling was given the big thumbs up for its accuracy.
Despite polls being posted here showing a +12 point Clinton lead… PPP does not and for most of the polls, Hillary’s lead is within or close to the margin of error both in swing states and nationally.
“The margins of error for the surveys are +/-3.7%, +/-3.3%, +/-4.1%, +/-3.7%, +/-3.1%, and +/-3.4% respectively.”
There is considerable time before the election and much will happen, but this election may be closer than the Dems think right now… and the low favorability ratings could mean low turn out and that always favors R’s.
PPP isn’t the only poll sounding ominous data, Quinnipiac polling also has an excellent reputation for accuracy… and they are not pulling their punches… Clinton +2
June 29, 2016 - Hate Winning, As Clinton-Trump Race Too Close To Call, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Neither Candidate Would Be Good President, Voters Say
Democrat Hillary Clinton has 42 percent to Republican Donald Trump's 40 percent - too close to call - as American voters say neither candidate would be a good president and that the campaign has increased hatred and prejudice in the nation, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
This compares to results of a June 1 national poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University, showing Clinton edging Trump 45 - 41 percent.
When third party candidates are added to today's survey, Clinton gets 39 percent with Trump at 37 percent. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson gets 8 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 4 percent.
"The 2016 election has increased the level of hatred and prejudice in the U.S.," 61 percent of American voters say. Another 34 percent say it has had no impact. Of that 61 percent, 67 percent blame the Trump campaign and 16 percent blame the Clinton campaign.
