Analysis / Bias
In review, Political research firm YouGov found PPP’s gubernatorial polls to have the lowest average margin of error among national firms that polled in at least five gubernatorial races in the month preceding the election. In 2013, columnist Nate Cohn described PPP as a liberal pollster that is pseudoscientific, although according to statistician Nate Silver, PPP had a tendency to slightly lean Republican as of September 2016. Further, a study by Fordham University found that of 28 firms studied, PPP had the most accurate poll on the presidential national popular vote.
