Next time you hear someone reference Real Clear Politics poll summary...

4. The Bad Thing Is Gallup Skews The Poll Of Polls
That's why in statistics sometimes the median is of more value than the mean...


If you and I are a at bar having a beer and Bill Gates joins us the average income of the three of us is over one billion dollars...

That is what Gallup's inflated Bush lead does to the poll of polls....
