So...I googled "public policy polling," and they are in fact a real organization. Whatever this internal memo is, it is not reflective of their public stance. They publicly predict a very tight race. So I'm left to ask with others, "WTF is THIS??"
The way polling in American races work is that polls are taken, then manipulated until they yield results that show the race as "tight". This encourages the candidates to buy more ads, which is the revenue stream for the major networks. No matter how the public feels, the polls will always reflect a near 50-50 race.
