12. This poll has many problems
as many have pointed out, it is taken over a three week span.

The reason for this I believe is because they were trying to hone in on black and hispanic opinions, and massively oversampled those two demographics, so that when they published the final poll it took massive saucing to get it back in line.

I don't think that Gallup is actually touting this as one of their valid polls because it is not reflected anywhere in their website except in the notes of this article. We'll find out if they get more specific when their release is put out around midnight.
