Gallup uses a sample made of 41% conservatives, 19% liberals
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 09:53 PM by scottxyz
Gallup polls show Bush with an 8% lead. But Gallup bases its polls on a distorted sample which doesn´t accurately reflect the electorate:

(1) Gallup assumes that FEWER minorities will vote in 2004 than voted in 2000. Gallup´s sample is 85% white.

(2) Gallup´s sample is composed of 41% conservatives, 19% liberals.

So this is how Gallup skews the poll results - Gallup simply uses an inaccurate sample group! How does a professional polling organization get away with this kind of scam?
