Gallup Is Is Perceived As The Lexus Of Polls |
|
Whether the reputation is deserved or not is in the eyes of the beholder...Will the MSM tout this poll or stick to their "close race" narrative?

1. Yes they are perceived that way |
|
They are not highly rated by Nate though - and I'm a fan of Nate's ranking methods.

3. I'm Not Sold On Rasmussen Because He Doesn't Poll Cell Phone Users |
|
Plus Gallup has enormous resources to conduct a good poll...
When I think of a Z(o)mby poll I think of John and five of his friends calling from his house...

13. Does Gallup poll cell users? |
|
I thought they didn't.
I know that my girlfriend and I are a cell-only household, and we haven't gotten polled at all.

14. Yes -They Poll Cell Phone Users |
|
And the chance of any one individual being polled is very, very small...

Their record this primary season was less-than-perfect.
Their 70-year record in accurately projecting general election numbers is terrific, though not unblemished.

9. They Have The Longest History So There Is The Most To Judge Them By |

They certainly have more resources than any non-media polling organization...
