Eesh: PPP Poll Says Perry Ain't So Great, Either
— Ace

Then again, it's PPP, and it's one poll. I'd like to see someone else confirm this hard-to-believe finding, that Obama wins Texas (yeah) over Texas' governor.

I'm sure this is just a reflection of frustration that some feel that the sanctuary and TSA bills didn't go anywhere, coupled with the folks on the left being pissed off about budget cuts.

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at June 29, 2011 12:30 PM (f9c2L)

Ok, Gov Perry has his issues with conservatives in Texas, BUT there is no way outside of Dallas and Austin that Obama has a chance. We have two high population Democrat outposts in Texas, and then a few border counties where votes are literally bought and paid for with Wik cards and food stamps and illegal alien voting ( just like in Illinois!).

This poll is crap. Texas is to the right of Perry actually.. almost the entire state. Basically, think about it... would you think Texans as a group prefer big-federal-government solutions and idicts?? Or.. may they be more the type to prefer let people alone to prosper or fail and handle their issues amongst themselves, ie, local politics? yeah.. that's what I thought.

24 It's PPP, screw 'em. A dead rat will win Texas next year. Perry would beat Obama there to the tune of 20 points. PPP has been polling anything and everything lately and unsurprisingly, come up with favorable numbers for Democrats every time. With general-election polling basically meaningless this far out, with no GOP nominee, the official Kos pollster is in "run polls that depress Republicans and shape a narrative of a stronger Obama" mode.

31 I've been polled by PPP multiple times. I live about 2 mile sfrom their offices so maybe that's why. Their recorded voice asking the questions is so irritating and effeminate that I'm doubting most non-moonbats can stay on the phone long enough to answer the questions. They also follow up the main questions with a bunch of propagandistic questions about whatever the lefty hot button talking point of the day happens to be. I just don't see many conservatives staying on the line long enough to matter.

Just wait until Nov. 6 2012 - Perry will wipe the floor with Obama. Perry has been in New York & California - two bastions of the liberal elite to see the level of support & fundraising he can achieve. Believe me - he is getting plenty of support from folks in these states. They don't want to turn into the parasites of DC.

Any info on the internals?

They don't publish those. They say (in bold and caps with no period at the end):

IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, [...] CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE

That paragraph says:

PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.

Yeah, in 1988. Back when Perry was a Democrat (as nearly all Southern pols were then) and when Gore was running as, believe it or not, a conservative Democrat.

Perry switched to the GOP the next year, which means that he's been a Republican longer than Ronald Reagan, a onetime supporter of FDR, was at the time he was elected President.

Just more propaganda from the increasingly panic-ed lefties. They are scared to death of Perry---just look at how fast the trolls appear with their propaganist bs on any Perry thread at any time, and not just this blog. They are adept at skewing polls to reflect their desired results and they seem to be doing alot of it lately. If this were Gallup or even Rasmussen or Zogby I might be concerned.

With all the fluff Huntsman was getting last week after he rolled out, I became convinced he is a left wing plant. Especially after being endorsed by Harry Reid.

107 There is absolutely NO WAY this is accurate. Perry won re-election to an unprecedented third term as governor just six months ago. His opponent, Bill White, was the popular former mayor of Houston. Perry trounced him by THIRTEEN POINTS.

Now we're suddenly supposed to believe that six months later, Perry couldn't beat Obama in his own redder-than-red home state? And that independents in Texas are evenly split after a midterm election that handed over state seats to Republicans that were held by Democrats for decades? The Republicans in the state legislature are one seat away from being able to pass constitutional amendments without a single Democrat, for Christ's sake.

This poll is absolute bullshit. PPP ought to be embarrassed to have published something so absolutely laughable.

109 "Perry beats White (moderate and former Houston mayor) by 13%"

And prior to that election the Libtard polls had White winning by 5-10%.

And you want me to believe this bullshit?? I don't think so.

110 Anybody that knows anything about Texas knows there is no way that Obama wins Texas. If he were to win, we would start shipping Californians and illegals back home lickety split.

111 You all know that PPP did this just to mess with Texas. So now it is our turtn.

113 There is something very wrong with a poll that puts Obama up in Texas over any Republican. Perry included. I call shenanigans.

114 Barry winning Texas is less likely than him winning Alabama, which now, for the first time since Reconstruction, has no statewide Elected Democrats.

115 There's no way Obama wins Texas. That fact doesn't make Perry a conservative or not a dick.

116 Texas to Obumbles? Maybe in the alternate universe most Democrats seem to believe they live in.

117 1. Perry isn't really a conservative. 2. Lots of low income people moving to Texas from surrounding states.

118 It does make you wonder why people say this stuff when it is obviously untrue. In the town where I am from. a fellow showed up the other day, and announced "I'm from Bama." People beat him half to death because they thought he said, "I'm from Obama."

In 1978, Rick Perry hit a 475-foot home run over the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. While bunting.

hahahahaha....

125 STOP BEING A DAMN EYORE! Obama has no chance in Texas against Perry just like Obama has no chance against Palin Alaska. Why do you even give this crap one ounce of credibility? This stuff is just laughable on its face. Don't you understand what these people are trying to do to our side? Stop accepting their BS.

126 I think a case can be made for voting for Obama. At this point it may just be easier to pick up the pieces and rebuild than to continue propping up the rotten edifice that is our government and ruling class. Just let Bambi bring it the rest of the way down and we can start over.

In fact, I found this old Constitution laying around that no one is using. I'm not sure if it will run anymore but they knew how to build things back in those days so it is worth a try. The new Constitutions are all cheap Chinese crap like this;

不会制定法律尊敬宗教的创立或者禁止因此自由锻炼的国会; 或者删节言论自由，或者新闻; 或者人民的权利平和聚集和诉请委屈赔偿的政府。

Which translates to:

All offers subject to change without notice. In case of any dispute arbitration is agreed to based upon foreign law, Kennedy's lucky penny or the Code of Hammurabi as determined by a randomly chosen group of DC cocktail party attendants and hangers on. All decisions are final up to the point we change our minds, or unless decision is rendered on randomly determined "opposite days" when every word shall be deemed to have its opposite meaning (See Kelo 1.2.51, Commerce Clause 5.4.9 et al). Should a lucky winner not come forward a supplemental drawing will be held from amongst those entrants who correctly guessed Elena Kagan's sex and saddle size.

128 This poll makes total sense.

Posted by: Concerned Texas Conservative at June 29, 2011 02:54 PM (agD4m)

129 Perry is a lot less popular in Texas than most outsiders think. He won his second term with a mere 1/3 of the vote, after all (there were five candidates.)

That said, the idea that he'd lose the state to Obama is laughable.

130 This outfit called me before the 2010 election.Basically, the only options on the poll that could be chosen conformed to leftward policies and politicians
PPP is a total farce.
It's a push-poll palooza so that mincing, pencil-necked cretin, Kos ,can try to influence policy and elections.

i remember the exit polls could not decide if bush won the state of mississippi. this is just as bad.

133 Not possible. As a resident of East Texas and only having antecdotal evidence, I say not even remotely possible. What are the area codes of all the calls? 512 (Austin)?. In the 2008 General election, two counties ( out of 254 ) voted for BHO - Travis (Austin) and Robertson (Hearne). Travis is all government workers, while Robertson is all government beneficiaries.
