While other polls show a steady decline, Gallup (Bush's PR firm) continues to modify HOW it does it's polls every other week.


Even Rassmussen has shown a steady decline. Gallup is cooking the numbers.

1. They're just incompetent.
They have real problems with getting a consistent sample. I don't know why.

3. They always do
No one actually in politics takes Gallup seriously anymore, but the media props them up.

6. Gallup polls more republicans than democrats
Even though most registered voters are registered democrats. Their sample is not indicative of reality.

9. Gallup over polls repubs, way over polls them
It is interesting to see the up, down, up, down, up. It leads me to believe that when they get a down poll, they just up the # of repubs to poll for the next time. The way they are going, soon the % of repubs will be 98%, with dems and independents being the other 2%, just to try and keep bush above 40%, lol.
