I know there have been examples of polls being wrong recently, but PPP are pretty reliable according to wikipedia and have one of the best track records amongst pollsters (they also apparently lean more to Republican recently as well so I'm not sure the 'exclusive to left wing media' thing is entirely relevant in this particular case). But regardless of all that anyway it doesn't need to act as 'proof' of anything, at the very least it's an interesting indication of the role that misinformation played, and the results of the poll are too extreme in showing that to simply be brushed aside as nonsense (it's not as if only small differences were noted that could be explained away by bias - the margins were too big for that in my opinion) especially if your reason for ignoring it is because you're typically right wing or left wing and only want to acknowledge what benefits your own political agenda, it's that kind of thinking that leads to what's been evidenced in this poll imo.

I liked her too but I did think she could have milked it a bit less only because I think it would be good for Trump supporters to view it (and do so without getting their backs up)... so if she'd been more impartial that'd be a bit more likely I think. But yeah, can't help but like her anyway and she knows her audience I suppose
