Is Gallup whoring for Bush?

[Sandpiper]

Why is it that Gallup consistently has Bush 4-5 points higher than every other national poll?

Is it something in their methodology?

1. Yes they are. Imperial Pravda.

[amber dog democrat]

2. I think they ARE whoring

They will be proclaiming Dewey Defeats Trueman before too long.

3. It has to be something with their methodology

They need to do something about it, because they are an obvious outlier. I don't put any stock in their polls.

5. i really don't put any stock in any polls

4. I think so..............

their control group is a little suspect in my opinion. They include too many Rethugs or too many from CONservative areas.

6. is it really whoring if they do it for free?

then it's just putting out, IMO

11. Who says they're doing it for free?

Put nothing past the Shrub regime, and never underestimate the greed of people in corporate America. Gallup is such a GOP tool its credibility died a couple of campaigns ago.

7. Yes

And by association so are USA Today and CNN.

[Tempest]

8. Gallup went rightwing when they hooked up with USA Today

USA Today's editor is a rightwing Bush Ranger campaign supporter.

He's contributed thousands to Bush's campaign.

9. Gallup has a built in GOP bias

They admit that they always sample about 4% more Republicans than Democrats, on the theory that Republicans are more likely to vote.

10. Is the Pope Catholic? nt

12. They are really trying to get people's attention

If they think bush is improving then they will wonder and try to go with the winner. Sneaky little guys those Gallop poller's

Blame not evil for which stupidity and ignorance can explain.
