New Gallup: As Bad As You Thought

[MissouriTeacher]

Bush 54% Kerry 40% among LV.

This according to www.mydd.com (about the third post down).

I think we can all agree this is a pathetic joke. I wonder how the media will spin it, "Bush surges to 14-point lead overnight!" :eyes:

1. this will be the story of the day.....

on all the cable tv shows and conservative radio shows....

[seabeyond]

4. didnt tweety just have two polls today

1 point apart on both. one kerry up. one bush up

[dennis4868]

10. yep....

but that will al be forgotten by tomorrow morning...CAPTAIN AWOL HAS A BUG LEAD!

[slinkerwink]

2. It's an outlier---and that's all I have to say

[TruthIsAll]

8. No, it's an OUTLIAR not an OUTLIER...

An outlier is just a statistical anomaly.

This is NOT an anomaly. It is fraud. Plain and simple.

[Guaranteed]

3. Just bullshit.

Doesn't even worry me at this point. Totally ridiculous.

[physaf]

21. it is not a credible report.

we can't be concerned about things like this - relax.

[Thrill]

5. They just aren't crediable

.

6. Did they poll Bush and his family

to get these results?:eyes:

[vickie]

7. What is the chance will spend as much time squawking and

bloviating about this wild poll swing as they did about the fonts on 1970's era typewriters. This is absolutely preposterous.

[Zynx]

9. The showed Kerry up by six in MI and tied in MN.

You can't have those two events and a 14 point Bush lead nationally. It can't happen.

[Placebo]

11. I just can't believe people are that STUPID

I just can't.

Besides, today DEAN was on CNN talking about how worthless polls are, and he should know, the polls all showed him ahead and Kerry won in a blowout.

12. Didn't Gallup do the surveying for New Coke product research?

same results.

[DeadHead67]

13. I Repeat !!! . . . . . FUCK THE POLLS !!! GET OUT THE VOTE !!!

Half the negative crap I'm seeing on DU is some idiot bastards spin on some even less credible goddam poll. NOW, KNOCK IT OFF!!! GET POSITIVE AND GET OUT THE VOTE!!! (Sorry. End of Rant):kick:

[MissouriTeacher]

15. Hey...

I'm canvassing for the Kerry campaign on Saturday.

I was just letting people know about the poll.

[physaf]

22. getting out the vote won't help if they keep stealing so many

this early. it's very depressing.

[elperromagico]

14. And what's the methodology?

Perhaps a rule should be instituted here: Don't post about a poll until you know the methodology.

[pa28]

16. Throw out the highest and lowest.

Gallup must be polling out of the Abilene phonebook.

18. Fuck Gallup.

I saw a story on Yahoo today that said the race was once again:

You guessed it:

Tied.


Gallup is bullshit.

[speedoo]

19. There is obviously something very wrong with Gallup.

Unfortunately, no one in the media can have a sense that this is true. They just whore themselves, as usual.

[EndElectoral]

20. How can Gallup have a 14 point lead Bush, and Harris poll Kerry up one?

[Teaser]

23. Easy...Gallup's likely voter model is crap.

One of the questions they ask you is if you know the address of your polling place. If you don't, that's a black mark against your status as a likely voter.

I don't even know where my polling place is this year yet. Much less it's address. And I'm sure as hell voting.

[physaf]

24. it's clear that one of them are wrong, and probably

both are. need more to snort... brb.

[WI_DEM]

25. People should contact CNN and ask "how is it that Gallup is the

only poll that shows Bush with a lead like this?" becuz you know they will be whoring that poll around as if it is gospel.

[Walt Starr]

26. Has Gallup shown Kerry in the lead outside the MOE even once?

Seriously, have they?

[sonicx]

27. early july was close

kerry lead by 8 with a 4 point MOE (registered voters).
