West Virginia Republican Primary Poll
May 12, 2011
Bill Maloney has caught up to Betty Ireland in the primary for Governor and the race now looks like a toss up heading into Saturday's voting.
Arizona Primaries Poll
May 11, 2011
Mitt Romney's the choice of Republicans in the state, Jeff Flake could be vulnerable to a primary challenger, and Democrats want their Senate candidate to be either Gabrielle Giffords or Terry Goddard.
Virginia Senate Poll
May 11, 2011
Tim Kaine leads George Allen 46-44...with both candidates very well known and highly polarizing it's hard to imagine this race ever being anything other than a toss up.
National 2012 President Poll
May 11, 2011
Barack Obama's approval numbers are on the rise...but his leads over potential Republican opponents for next year are not.
Virginia President Poll
May 10, 2011
Barack Obama leads six potential Republican opponents in the key swing state by anywhere from 8 to 22 points, and it's not just a bin Laden bounce.
National Republican Poll
May 10, 2011
Donald Trump's support has completely collapsed, going from 26% to 8% in the span of a month. He's now tied for 5th place with Ron Paul, well behind Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney who are at the top of the heap.
Missouri Republican Poll
May 6, 2011
Todd Akin and Sarah Steelman are basically tied for the Senate nomination, while Mike Huckabee continues to be the clear favorite for President with GOP voters in the state.
Arizona Miscellaneous Poll
May 6, 2011
Jon Kyl's popularity is on the decline, John McCain is one of the three least popular Senators in the country, Joe Arpaio is the best liked politician in the state after Gabrielle Giffords, and voters don't want an official gun.
Missouri Governor Poll
May 4, 2011
Jay Nixon has doubled his lead over Peter Kinder to 14 points since PPP's last poll of the race in March. He also has double digit leads in hypothetical matches with Matt Blunt and Kenny Hulshof.
Arizona Senate Poll
May 4, 2011
Gabrielle Giffords would start out as the favorite if she is able to run for the Senate next year. Even if she can't Democrats should have some chance to win this seat, as Jeff Flake is not that popular.
Nevada Miscellaneous Poll
May 3, 2011
John Ensign's hitting new levels of unpopularity, Brian Sandoval's holding up well compared to other new Republican Governors across the country, and Harry Reid's numbers are about where they always are.
Arizona President Poll
May 3, 2011
Barack Obama looks decently competitive, trailing only Mitt Romney out of 5 Republicans we tested against him. Arizonans don't want Sarah Palin moving to their state, and Donald Trump is out of favor even with Republicans there.
Missouri Senate Poll
May 3, 2011
Claire McCaskill's approval rating is unchanged from before the controversy about her airplane, and she continues to have small leads over all of her potential opponents. This is a toss up race but her position isn't getting worse.
West Virginia Senate Poll
April 28, 2011
Joe Manchin's approval numbers are holding up well and he would lead Shelley Moore Capito by 8 points in a hypothetical match up. Against other Republicans we tested the lead is more than 30.
Nevada Primaries Poll
April 28, 2011
Mitt Romney has the GOP lead for President, although it's shrinking, while Dean Heller and Shelley Berkley don't appear to have much to worry about in terms of primary opposition.
NC State Basketball Poll
April 27, 2011
NC State fans are largely withholding judgment on the hire of Mark Gottfried as their new basketball coach. They're still divided on the decision to fire Sidney Lowe but despite making some controversial moves Debbie Yow remains extremely popular with the fan base.
West Virginia Governor Poll
April 27, 2011
Democrats lead all eight potential match ups we tested for Governor. Earl Ray Tomblin is proving to be a popular Governor and would start out with a large lead, while the race would be more competitive with one of the other Democrats.

April 27, 2011
Barack Obama's numbers in Nevada have slipped over the last three months and he now trails Mitt Romney for reelection in the state, although he leads the rest of the GOP field.
Pennsylvania Miscellaneous Poll

Democrats lead the generic Congressional ballot in the state, Ed Rendell and Arlen Specter remain very unpopular, and 63% of voters support some form of legal recognition for same sex couples.
North Carolina President Poll
April 26, 2011
Barack Obama's poll numbers are holding up better in North Carolina than they are nationally and he leads all five Republicans we tested against him by margins ranging from small (against Huckabee, Romney, and Gingrich) to large (against Trump and Palin.)
Iowa Miscellaneous Poll
April 26, 2011
Terry Branstad is unpopular and would trail Chet Culver in a rematch, Chuck Grassley is one of the most popular Senators in the country, and Tom Latham is tops in favorability in the state's House delegation.
