Head of polling for SurveyUSA is revealed... he's a FREEPER
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1720549/posts

I've been reading surveyusa polls for a while (ignore the polls mentioned in this thread, they're a month old), and I noticed that SurveyUSA tends to find favorable ratings for House GOP incumbents. Turns out that the head pollster at SurveyUSA is a poster on the Free Republic forums.

You may want to take what they put out from now on with a grain of salt.

1. I told folks 2 years ago that it was a highly suspect poll
and a tool of the GOP. It only seems to appear in the last 2 months before an election and favors GOPs much more than the accurate polls like Harris, Ipsos/Reid and Pew.

Interesting posting history - not much bias there, huh?

Wonder if MrsVS got on well with Jimmy/Jeff Gannon & Tony Snow?

4. I'd written off their polls..
... long ago. When you read 5 polls and 4 of them are within the MOE and the 5th is outside it, you can pretty much pitch the 5th one. And Gallup as well.
