So..Gallup gets to pick the "undecided questioners" tomorrow...

[Junkdrawer]

Given Gallup's pro-Bush methodology in recent polls, can we anticipate a decidedly conservative group of "undecided voters"?

[Shoeempress]

1. Question #1"President Bush How does it feel to have saved the world?"

[jezebel]

4. President Bush, why are you so strong and resolute and Sen. Kerry so weak?

2. I'm afraid we might

and I wouldn't put it past Rove to put in some ringers, like rw nutcases who think they are doing God's will when they blow up abortion clinics, or pathelogical liars who look to Bush as their icon.

3. that means 67% Repukes, 15% Democrats

and 18% undecided, but leaning toward Caligula.

5. LOL...That's what I'm afraid of...

A "two fer":

1.) Harder questions for Kerry

2.) Makes it seem the electorate is conservative

9. LOL! Yep, That's the Gallup "Scientific" Way.

What a farce.

6. Are you serious?

GALLUP'S picking the questions??? Oy..

8. Yep...

The audience for the second debate, to be at Washington University in St. Louis, was to be picked by the Gallup Organization. The commission said participants should be undecided voters from the St. Louis area.

10. Jesus...

I trust Kerry to handle the questions, but this better not be another Gallup-ized stack of questions weighted toward GOP talking points..

7. I hope they get a chance to see the real Putz. The stupidist man on earth.

11. That sucks

Big time.

12. Here's an article about Gallup's questionable methodology...

Why You Should Ignore The Gallup Poll This Morning - And Maybe Other Gallup Polls As Well

This morning we awoke to the startling news that despite a flurry of different polls this week all showing a tied race, the venerable Gallup Poll, as reported widely in the media (USA Today and CNN) today, showed George W. Bush with a huge 55%-42% lead over John Kerry amongst likely voters. The same Gallup Poll showed an 8-point lead for Bush amongst registered voters (52%-44%). Before you get discouraged by these results, you should be more upset that Gallup gets major media outlets to tout these polls and present a false, disappointing account of the actual state of the race. Why?

Because the Gallup Poll, despite its reputation, assumes that this November 40% of those turning out to vote will be Republicans, and only 33% will be Democrat. You read that correctly. I asked Gallup, who have been very courteous to my requests, to send me this morning their sample breakdowns by party identification for both their likely and registered voter samples they use in these national and I suspect their state polls. This is what I got back this morning:
