Gallup is asking the wrong question to skew the polls...
They are asking Republicans if they are enthusiastic about voting for Bush, and then counting this toward their likely voters. They are doing the same thing with Democrats who are not as enthusiastic about voting for Kerry.

I heard them admit as much on AAR this afternoon.

The problem is that Democrats are MORE enthusiastic about voting AGAINST Bush, which I'm sure they never ask.

Basically, they figured out a way to ask the same question to all voters so they could skew the polls to show what they want.

I know it doesn't matter, and I agree. I just thought it was funny how they figure who is a likely voter and who is not.
