Gallup over samples EVEN MORE repubs this week...
Check out The Left Coaster...

"Today's Gallup Poll Based On Even Larger GOP Bias Amongst Likely Voters

With no concern apparently for its credibility, Gallup has just trotted out its latest CNN/USAT/Gallup poll of likely (LV) and registered voters (RV). All I can say is that I give them credit for consistency and not being concerned with looking stupid should their LV assumptions get blown apart next week.

Registered Voters

Poll of October 14-16
Reflected Bush Winning by 50%-46%

Total Sample: 942
GOP: 348 (37%)
Dem: 327 (35%)
Ind: 259 (27%)

Poll of October 22-24
Reflected Bush Winning by 49%-48%

Total Sample: 1461
GOP: 542 (37%)
Dem: 500 (34%)
Ind: 411 (28%)"

More...including stats on likely voters.

So, let's take a deep breath and keep up the good work.

3. Gallup is just taking into account voter suppression and intimidation...
It will be proven the most correct on election day.

5. Time to Write CNN.... again.
Write 'em here: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form6a.html?2

Mine:


Dear Sir or Madame,

With all due respect, have you lost any concern for your credibility? Why do you not report the percentage of Republicans and Democrats polled when reporting the results of your Gallup poll?

I cannot imagine what credible reason you would have for reporing on a poll that oversamples Republicans and keeping that fact from your viewers.

Sincerely,
Fishbine
