Public Policy Polling doesn't need a publicist.
So far this year, the Raleigh firm has gotten more than enough attention from the statewide campaigns for U.S. Senate and governor.
Today, Senate candidate Kay Hagan sent a news release and gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue sent an e-mail to supporters boasting of their leads in the weekly tracking poll.
"A new poll provides evidence that voters support Bev’s decision to run a positive campaign focused on the issues that matter most," Perdue's campaign wrote in the e-mail.
In the past, the campaigns of gubernatorial candidates Richard Moore and Pat McCrory have also sent e-mails touting Public Policy Polling results. Lieutenant governor candidate Walter Dalton has alluded to the firm's polls indirectly.
Moore's campaign manager, Jay Reiff, also sent supporters an e-mail cautioning them about reading too much into polls.
"To have an accurate poll, you need to be a stickler for the science," he wrote.
