PPP will release a Wisconsin poll later this morning showing Obama going UP

[TroyD]

We don't have Obama up 14 in Wisconsin but we have him up a lot more than we did last week. Results between 11 and Noon

1. Well that is certainly more assuring that their tweet last night.

which was:

Well I guess Republicans will be pushing the PPP numbers in Wisconsin this week

But I guess again that they would want to talk about anything less than the 14-point lead that Marquette gave the president.

2. I guess they just meant that Republicans will prefer PPP's result to Marquette's

Romney is still in trouble either way.

4. I agree with your interpretation!

I think PPP was being sarcastic because they've been receiving nasty Tweets from Republicans this week accusing them of being biased in favor of the Dems etc.

So I think that was there way of saying the Reps will wish they are only down in Wisconsin by PPP's margin than by Marquette's!

3. What did they say last night?

Btw, they just posted this:

Obama's lead on our Wisconsin poll is the largest we've found for him there since February

6. Interestingly PPP had Obama up by 14 in February

PPP (D) 2/23 - 2/26 900 RV 3.3 53 39 Obama +14

but they say it isn't that high (which is what Marquette had), so I'm guessing, maybe, high single digits 7 or 8 points, which is still pretty good.

7. There are only 2 things that matter when it comes to Wisconsin

1. That the President wins the state

2. That Tammy Baldwin wins the Senate race

As long as both those things happen, it doesn't really matter whether Obama wins the state by 4 points or by 14 points!

Achieving those 2 things would be a huge victory, particularly the latter since Baldwin was the underdog up until this week.

9. On the ground here, Thompson has been running a horrible campaign

He has only had 3 major appearances since winning the nomination. He has been spending most of his time raising money. He has been cantankreous regarding his taxes. Meanwhile Tammy has had 22 major appearances and has been running a good flow of both positive and negative ads--but not personally negative. The more people get to know Tammy the more they like her. She is the future while Thompson represents the past.

8. We know it will be at least 6 points, since that's their highest since February. n/t

5. Yup

I think PPP was being sarcastic because they've been receiving nasty Tweets from Republicans this week accusing them of being biased in favor of the Dems etc.

So I think that was their way of saying the Reps will wish they are only down in Wisconsin by PPP's margin than by Marquette's!

10. Gosh, could it be that both Mittens and Lyin'Ryan lose their home states? WOW!

I remember when people wouldn't let up on Al Gore for losing TN in 2000.

Maybe we can get Lyin'Ryan to lose both the VP and his congressional seat?

Off to donate to Rob Zerban,

13. Romney will lose both his home states by more than the 4% that Gore lost TN.

Why Gore threw away so much money and time in FL and didn't spend some in TN I have no idea.

11. Wisconsonites have alway been sensible people, why it isn't a blue state is beyond me.

12. WI

It's slowly moving away from being a battleground to a likely Obama state.Plus more people who see
Tammy baldwin the more they like her.

On ed show last night he had the small business owner who Is running against Ryan for his house
seat.Apparently Ryan Is only 8 points up and for first time has competive race In his district.

I tell you If he,bachman,and Cantor could all lose their house seats that would be a dream come true.

14. Yes, indeed.

"Baldwin Surges in Polls" is a page 1 headline in the <i>State Journal</i> out of Madison.

Last night I was robocalled for a Huckabee survey. I declined the opportunity but suspect the intent was to propagandize against abortion and gays. Hope is challenging experience in my dream of wins for Tammy and Elizabeth Warren.

15. I'll be happy to see Tommy Thompson get his ego busted

if he loses.

16. After what Walker & his Republican legislature has done to the Wisconsin

people, I have to believe they will throw out all the Republican bums!

I believe with all my heart the recall election was stolen. Too many similarities to other thefts!

I just donated to Zerban. How wonderful it would be to put Ryan in the unemployment line!!!
I'll be donating to Tammy my next pension check.
