1. Please Keep Cube Rats Informed As To How It's Covered

I assume you mean the new, disastrous Gallup poll?

Would love to hear how it's covered, how it's presented, discussed etc. Including tenor, snippets of commentary etc.

2. Anyone Know their polling source?

their margin of error?

3. They don't Use Gallup Do they?

5. Gallup, and they skew their polls heavily using far more Republicans than

Independents and Democrats.

7. Not this time. 29% repub, 35% Dem... 40% approval!

10. During the election season they polled 10-11% more GOPers than Dems

I guess that is how they skewed public perception to help Bush steal it again.

4. I bet it's the Gallup poll.

It's always the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

6. Gallup at 40% he he he

One more point from Gallup and I'll eat my hat.

Bush is at 36% if not lower, America is pissed!

[Melodybe]

8. I don't trust Gallop as far as I can throw them

they are full of it, they have been lying for the last 5 years and they are worthless.

9. you'll be a limbo star...

(how LOW can you GO?)

11. To be fair, they did oversample Democrats, 35-29. nt

14. Not Necessarily, That Could Be A Reflection Of More People SAYING

they're Dems because Bush is so unpopular.

When Bush was more popular, more people were identifying themselves as Repubs in the polls (including Gallup) and people used to say "Hey! They're sampling too many Repubs!"

It's difficult to determine whether it's a built in sample bias, or an artifact of the data.

15. Maybe, just pointing it out.

:)

During the election, especially, DUers got pissed when Republicans were oversampled in similar numbers.

12. Wolfie just called it "an eye popping poll".

[Kahuna]

16. Only Wolfie's eyes popped.. Everybody

else already knows his numbers are in the crapper.

[rrrevolution]

13. When CNN presents poll # as trouble you know Bush is way down

in the real public opinion.

The telling aspect of this poll is that it could not reach these depths without Repubs beginning to abandon ship .......
