Wolf Is Still Pimping The Flawed Gallup Poll

And now they are having a discussion based on a flawed premise ,the premise being that this is a tied race...

This is after watched him discuss military deployment with Wes Clark....

It would be like watching Bill Parcells discuss football with Pee Wee Herman

CNN sucks......

15. Hey Chucky

You've got a lot of posts with "............" in the subject line but no message.

What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?

3. Close races are good for ratings. So that's what it will always be.

14. close polls = fewer look closely at vote when 'surprise' it's stolen,

see all the races in 2002 that were 'close or dems leading slightly' that went repub

see expecially Georgia 2002

repub colleague said repubs won in 2002 because 'all the good christians heard Bush ask them to vote, and they did'

9. I disagree, would be better for people to know that Bush is on

the way out -- make it feel inevitable.

This poll manipulation sets the stage for more manipulation on election day. It is fraud and tampering with a federal election as far I am concerned and it should be stopped immediately.

10. I'm Out The Door-Another Poster Can Elaborate

They used the Gallup Poll in 00 to give the impression that the Gore campaign was doomed.... It worked by holding down his popular vote victory and making the E C close enough to steal...

I was going to write them an e-mail but it's futile...

7. wolf and the two weenies

11. Gallup is in charge of the 2nd presidential debate

Well, for the most part. They will be choosing the "undecided voters" that will be asking the questions. Also, the questions will be submitted prior to the debate as to "avoid duplicate questions".

You know damn well Gallup has a direct line to Rove during this entire farse.

12. If anyone watched Scarborough Country last night....

they were really pumping this poll for all it was worth...the democrat they had on there wasn't even disputing the poll. I was screaming at the tv,"THAT IS JUST ONE BIASED POLL MOST SHOW KERRY WITH A LEAD". He,the dem sorry don't remember his name, had no response of any consequence just stated something about this poll being just a snapshot at this point in time and could change. He never disputed the poll numbers or its source. From what I've seen Gallup is always tilted in the favor of Bush even more so than Fox polls.
