From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

Public Policy Polling (PPP) is a U.S. polling firm based in Raleigh, North Carolina. PPP was founded in 2001 by businessman Dean Debnam, the firm's current president and Chief Executive Officer.

PPP is described as one of the "most accurate" polling companies and as a "Democratic-leaning" polling company because in its private client work, it conducts polls only for Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations.

The company is known for asking unexpected and unusual questions, including those without bearing on politics, such as the approval rating of God, whether voters believe President Obama would be eligible to enter heaven in the event of the Rapture and whether hipsters should be subjected to a special tax for being annoying. Many of these questions come from suggestions by PPP readers on the company's blog.
