Versus Gallup tracking that same year. This is awesome, shows you not to pay too much attention to tracking polls.

1. Always Fun to Take a Shot at Gallup After the angst Their polls Caused Some in 2012-Not ME

next question-how many years will Republicans buy the BS Rasmussen and even RCP has been spreading over several Presidential election years

2. You would think with how much money they have their internal polls would at least be on par with dem

But they seem to be shocked election after election.

4. To Their Credit Fox News Polling Has Become a Relatively Legitimate Mainstream Poll

Gallup basically gave up

Can't wait until an explanation comes out about LA Times/USC Poll. I suspect we might find a lot of funding of USC by the Kochs. I went to the Texas equivalent of USC in Dallas-SMU and they are pouring money into various departments of the university which is alarming but somewhat expected with the Bush Library and "Think" Institute

5. Hm, Good Theory

Really smart speculation. That will be interesting. The turnover in pollsters from cycle to cycle and the general unreliability of their models really makes one realize that you have to apply a "common sense" adjustment factor to most polls.

6. For Example Charles Koch Funded These USC Researchers Concluding that State Subsidies to Film Ind. .

were wasted. Affluent private schools like USC and SMU are perfect breeding grounds for Koch investments-
