Gallup, a Republican PR firm
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 09:17 PM by AnnaLouise
These are only a sliver of the legion lies of the Gallup Organization.

In 1940 George Gallup, always in the pay of Republicans,
forecast on election night a tie between Franklin Roosevelt and Wendell
Wilkie.
On election day, a few hours later, FDR received 27 million votes to Wilkie's 22 million, and in the Electoral College, Roosevelt buried Wilkie 449 to 82. FDR received at least 55% of the vote.
In 1948 George Gallup on election night said that Thomas Dewey was 5
points ahead of Harry Truman. Truman received 24.2 million
votes to Dewey's 21.9
In 1976 Gallup did not even put Carter among the polling names
11 months before the election.
In 2000, Gallup said on Oct 23
Bush 48.2%, Gore 42.7%;
Gallup was part of a conspiracy which included thousands
of thefts, such as the Jacksonville Times Union in Florida
putting out a special edition in the black community, asking
blacks to vote every page of the ballot. Those who trusted
the paper, 20,000 in all, had their votes disqualified while
Katherine Harris under the guise of removing felons from the
polling lists removed many blacks. Armed police set up
roadblocks to discourage black voters.
In 2008, Gallup is again lying

The neocon 'pollster' game is to discourage the left through lies
1. Gallup and other neocon pollsters poll more Republicans than Democrats
2. Gallup and other neocon pollsters shortchange the young and cellphone users
because it doesn't have access to those numbers.

Just as virtually every 'voting machine' (vote manipulation) company in the US
is owned by Republicans, so are the pollsters connected
to neocon media. USA Today has just laid off 1000 workers.
People don't want to read war propaganda.

Democratic candidates who want an accurate picture of
the electorate's views seldom use Gallup.


George Gallup Sr was a professional liar.
George Gallup Jr is a right wing prowar Christian, an oxymoron.
