1. Why is Clinton beating Obama by 7 when MSM pundits are making on air apologies to her campaign?

4. Gallup is polling 1996 ... they are out of touch
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 03:05 PM by TexasObserver
They have consistently under represented younger voters and overstated older voters.

Besides, Gallup is literally the biggest whore on the planet when it comes to polls. Don't believe me? Google "Gallup, business, partnerships" and see the truth of one of the biggest scam operations on the face of the earth.

Check them out at their site. Just look around there and you'll see who they serve.

They're going to overstate Hillary and understate Obama, as they've been doing for months.

5. Is That Why They Have Been The Second Most Accurate Pollster This Primary Season?



Oh- they are one of the first wave of pollsters that are polling folks with cell phones...And yeah, they have lots of business partners, but that gives them the wherewithall to do good polls...
