Leave Gallup Alone...
They could have killed us with a bad poll...

Not us but with the sheeple....


You know Gallup has cred whether we like it or not and the mediawhores would have spinned it to death...


Matt Dowd said it's his favorite poll...

Matty boy , is it your favorite poll now?

1. C'mon now. They've done their damnedest to kill us with bad polls
all throughout this campaign. They HAD to reflect a semblance of reality in this one, for their own sake, and hope that all the previous propaganda would be forgotten AGAIN.

2. Excellent point
Even mixed news from their state polls has to be considered good news because it could've been a helluva lot worse.

3. This amuses me greatly
These polls are all so schitzo. I REALLY doubt Kerry is behind in PA. PA and MI are just a matter of turnout.

6. Can You Imagine If Gallup Had It 51-46
Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 08:28 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
It would be all over the press....

I listen to a lot of radio... Folks always cite Gallup as the best poll...

I consider this poll a win for us...


During the Summer there was a "bad" Gallup poll and Fox referred to that and ignored their own poll....

4. Heh, heh, heh
he'll probably spin it. Gallup sucks though. One semi-respectable poll doesn't make up for years of propagandizing and weighted polls. They're still worthless.
