PPP Poll Shows Manchin with 6-Point Lead

Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, shows West Virginia’s Democratic governor and Senate candidate Joe Manchin with a 6-point lead over Republican John Raese, 50% to 44%. Two weeks ago, PPP put Manchin up 3 points over Raese, while Rasmussen showed Raese with a 7-point lead six days ago.

The fact that PPP predicts a more Democratic electorate than Rasmussen does explains a good deal of the difference between the two polls.
