Iowa, New Mexico, Virginia Question Suggestions
New Mexico and Virginia won our vote on where to poll this week. We'll obviously look at the standard Presidential stuff and the Senate races in both states. In New Mexico we'll do Heinrich/Balderas v. Sanchez/Wilson and in Virginia we'll look at Kaine v. Allen/Radtke. In Virginia we'll do the G...
PPP can't poll North Dakota for the same reason they can't poll Indiana: Robopolls are illegal in both states.
To Andrew above, re Gingrich's stance on immigration: For Daily Kos's weekly poll with PPP, we're going to be asking this question:
"Do you think people who have immigrated to the United States illegally but have lived here 25 years, have paid taxes, and have obeyed the law should be deported or not? If you think they should be deported, press 1. If you think they should not, press 2. If you’re not sure, press 3."
That phrasing is pretty much taken directly from Gingrich (he had an additional line in there about attending church). I'll be very curious to see what self-identified Republicans say about this one. Anyhow, look for the results on Tuesday!

How do you decide which less-obvious teams to include in a poll like this? I mean, Pats/Giants/Jets is obvious. But why Steelers? Why not Bills, say? Any rhyme or reason?
