Reply #6: I did hear from someone back in April

[Starpass]

after I posted that initial encounter who had worked in the past for Gallup. They said that it had been sold and that the new "owners" were really sloppy in their polling methods and didn't care. When I see that Gallup (and a lot of them) are not just "alone" anymore but are always hooked up with some news source (like Gallup is, I believe, CNN/USA Today), I keep wondering about what that person said. In other words, does the mission become serving those masters and not accurate polling?? (guess I don't have to answer that dumb question---how stupid could I be).
