USA Today polls are done by Gallup/CNN - who knew?

[donsu]

a USA Today newspaper dude was on Wash. Journal this a.m. (c-span) talking about their polls. He said Gallup did their polls. later when asked who thought up the questions asked, he said a 3 way conference was done by USA/Gallup/CNN.


surprised me!

2. who knew?

Anyone that has ever watched CNN showing the CNN/Gallup/USAToday graphic. They are 3 peas in a pod.

3. sorry - I never look at polls (don't believe them) so had not seen that

interesting aside:

the other nite I got a call from a woman who said she was doing a Harris poll for the city of Key West about locals and tourists. and she said Harris lived in Key West. (said this twice as if I should be impressed). After ascertaining I was of age and head of household she asked if I rented or owned. at that point I asked her how would I know if she really was from the Harris Pollsters? she got huffy and said why else would she phone me?

I replied that I had no idea and that I was closing the conversation, which I did.

she could have been anyone wanting my personal information for whatever reason.
