Obama camp attacks Gallup again | WashingtonExaminer.com

After Axelrod attacked Gallup earlier this year and then Holder's DOJ decided they'd join a bogus lawsuit against Gallup, they forced Gallup to change their methodology to favor Obama.

Now, even with the change favoring Obama, Gallup is showing a Romney lead which has sparked another attack on Gallup....this time from an Obama pollster who mocked the Romney team for debating about the reliability of polls.

So now the Obama campaign feels the need to debate polls....LOL

I guess in hindsight the polsters were in several cases just not very good at their job. You also had a network that told their minions they were going to win in a landslide (Faux) So you have some operations that favored what they wanted to hear, yet reality still occurred. So now you must wonder if anyone will question Faux as a credible source? They proved themselves to not be accurate or reliable in any way. They told you what they wanted you to believe and were wrong. Still want to harp about what they say or how great they are? Still want to site rasmussen as a credible poll?

It is simple, when you site your beliefs and desire you are no longer credible. Don't rely on these as your information sources as they are simply not accurate.

If you're living your life in a bubble, it's pretty traumatic when it pops.

I wonder what will become of Gallup. They are the oldest polling outfit of the bunch, and were once the standard that all others aspired to achieve, but no longer.

Obviously, either their polling models have become obsolete, or their staff has changed, or both. All polling companies make their living conducting a wide variety of polls; consumer polling, ratings polling of all kinds, and non-political opinion polls are all their bread and butter. The election polling, though, is what brings in the other biz. I wonder how Gallup will fare in the face of the younger companies who produced more accurate results. I think they will lose some major business now.

So now Gallup slinks off to the back room with its tail between its legs.

Axelrod was right and Gallup was embarrassed by their shoddy performance.

Come on back, jt. Let's discuss.
