Gallup Is Is Perceived As The Lexus Of Polls

[DemocratSinceBirth]

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...

7. When I think of Zomby, I think of a dart board

:rofl:

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...

2. Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan will be furious. Bay Buchanan admitted to insane asylum

and Hannity and Coulter are walking hand in hand into Montauk Point Beach to let the sirens take them into the depths of the Atlantic

4. That's On Long Island

My uncle used to take my dad and I there when I was a kid on his boat...

11. Thanks.

Their record this primary season was less-than-perfect.

Their 70-year record in accurately projecting general election numbers is terrific, though not unblemished.

12. Dr. Gallup Who Is Long Gone Didn't Like To Poll Primaries Because It's So Hard To Predict Turnout

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...

[Thrill]

6. They stop using Gallup when it shows Obama expanding lead

The 30 min ad was the knockout

[MadBadger]

10. And I highly doubt Gallup is going to get this race oh so wrong
