PPP Reveals Bias With Absurd Survey Question

Posted by in Blog, Politics on September 9, 2012 11:30 pm / 5 comments

Earlier tonight the polling firm Public Policy Polling (D) released their results from Ohio, showing Obama leading Romney with 5 points in a D +4 sample. But that’s not the most interesting bit of their survey.This is:

Q15 Who do you think deserves more credit for the
killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or
Mitt Romney?
Barack Obama………………………………………… 63%
Mitt Romney……………………………………………. 6%
Not sure …………………………………………………. 31%

Are you kidding me?  PPP is obviously not even attempting to hide their bias anymore.  Besides highlighting one of President Obama’s few successes during his time in office, what purpose does this question serve? If it was a serious question, surely George W. Bush would have been added as an option instead of Governor Romney.
