Very weird Gallup state polls; mixed news

[pabloseb]

These results are very strange, but the good news is Gallup has Kerry up in BOTH Florida and Ohio BUT trailing in PA. Ok, I know this doesn't make sense, but here's a summary of the results anyway:

Florida: Kerry with 49%, Bush with 46%.

• Ohio: Kerry 50%, Bush 46%.

• Pennsylvania: Bush 50%, Kerry 46%.

• Iowa: Bush 48%, Kerry 46%.

• Minnesota: Kerry leading Bush, 52%-44%.

• Wisconsin: Bush leading Kerry, 52%-44%.

3. shit. these are weird numbers.....

down 4 in PA? No way. Down 8 in Wisconsin? Nope. But I really want to believe the Fla and Ohio numbers......

4. laughable numbers. fuck gallup

[deadparrot]

5. Gallup's numbers are crap, as usual.

No way in hell we're losing PA.

And if we're down in WI, it's not by 8.

I'm also suspicious about the others. I think a lot of these races are extremely close (both OH and FL).

6. Does anyone really know how the battleground states..

will turn out? :crazy:

7. Gallup is fucked up

And their national poll is a cya poll. Shows a tied race so they can say they were right either way after the election.

8. I think he's on Crack with regards to PA, myself.

just a hunch.
