Time to email Judy and Wolfie about the Gallup poll!
Let's keep the pressure on! The only problem is: I don't have their email addresses.

Does anyone have them. If so, please post, and let's get moving!

3. What do we want to divulge to them about
the Gallup poll that they haven't already told us?

4. The best analysis on Gallup's bias that I've seen
is at a great political blog called The Left Coaster.

Link: http://www.theleftcoaster.com

His major points: Gallup overweights Repubs in the sample by 7 percent believing that more Repubs will vote than Dems. But Zogby says that hasn't happened in the last three presidential elections.

Excerpt:

'According to John Zogby himself:

If we look at the three last Presidential elections, the spread was 34% Democrats, 34% Republicans and 33% Independents (in 1992 with Ross Perot in the race); 39% Democrats, 34% Republicans, and 27% Independents in 1996; and 39% Democrats, 35% Republicans and 26% Independents in 2000.

So the Democrats have been 39% of the voting populace in both 1996 and 2000, and the GOP has not been higher than 35% in either of those elections. Yet Gallup trumpets a poll that has consistently used a sample that shows a GOP bias of 40% amongst likely voters and 38% amongst registered voters, and depresses the Democratic portion of the sample down to levels they haven’t been at since a strong three-way race in 1992?'
