PPP is not openly biased. They have been the most accurate pollster for 3 cycles now. While we should always be skeptical of any source and with whom they are aligned, the math speaks. We should never be skeptical of proven results.

PPP is not openly biased.

PPP is a Democrat pollster. It's well known. Tom Jensen is an avowed progressive.

Remember when they withheld a poll that showed Dems getting crushed by the CO recall? You think they would have withheld a poll that showed Republicans getting crushed?

The spin... “We did a poll last weekend in Colorado Senate District 3 and found that voters intended to recall Angela Giron by a 12 point margin, 54/42. In a district that Barack Obama won by almost 20 points I figured there was no way that could be right and made a rare decision not to release the poll,” writes Tom Jensen, director of PPP.

The data was there. It just didn't agree with the liberal mindset of Mr. Jensen. Therefore, it was wrong. Typical left wing reasoning. Plus it would have further suppressed Giron's supporters (and can't have that).

With that said, PPP is a legitimate pollster and usually well within margins and sometimes spot on. I never downplay their polls. And anyone who does is whistling past the graveyard. I am just commenting on your statement that they aren't biased or partisan. They have an agenda.

“PPP is not openly biased. They have been the most accurate pollster for 3 cycles now.”

PPP’s Tommy Jensen makes sure that his final poll is fairly accurate, but earlier in the cycle he comes out with all sorts of agenda polls to help the Democrats. His chicanery is most egregious in the case of polls of his native NC, but they’re pretty biased wherever Democrats are trying to motivate fundraising and voter interest and dampen GOP spirits.
