Gallup found skewing their polls towards Bush, BIG TIME



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Ok, you want to know why some recent polls seemed so darn awful for Kerry? Check this out. Gallup, who has been supplying polling data to USA Today and CNN, has been assuming that 43% of those who vote in November will be Republican, and only 31% will be Democrats. And what's more, even though the Democrats have been showing a recent record increase in voter registration, Gallup actually recently LOWERED the percentage of Democratic voters they expect to vote. So, when you run a poll and interview 12% more Republicans than Democrats, it is any surprise the Republican wins?

It's time to get the other media to start writing about this brewing scandal.

And, lest anyone forget, I'm going to keep posting this chart from PollingReport.com of how 23 of 26 polls in 2000 showed Bush winning the popular vote in the 3 days before the election (and two of the polls had Bush winning by 9 points!). And we all know who actually won the popular vote. Believe the polls at your own peril.
