7. that's the USA Today/Gallup Poll, which is alleged to be "likely Voters" |
|
Gallup is in the tank for the GOP and has been a long time. They produce these "likely voter" polls for USA Today, a conservative newspaper. By using that standard, Gallup can easily skew the results to the right. By only counting voters as likely who voted in the 2004 presidential election, they automatically limit the samples they use.
Gallup whores itself for the same global corps that run the GOP.
They sell shaping perceptions. They don't sell accurate polling. They're hired guns, and they will deliver for their bosses.

We have this one in the bag. I'd like to see them 20 points ahead and then trooper gate comes out positive and it is going to be the biggest defeat in history. Obama will be the next president.

Gallup in 1940 said on election night FDR was tied with Wendell Wilkie In 1948 he said Truman was 5 points behind Dewey on election night. Gallup is not a polling outfit but a Republican PR firm as is every other major 'pollster'

do have to admit mcnutts has been getting a lot of free press from picking palin. so we just to wait and see if it continues. I don't think it can but it's really going to come down to biden sticking it to her in the debates.
if he can bury her without hurting peoples feelings, we will be in good shape. but if she can push him into reacting harshly, there will be trouble in paradise.
