Yeah, about that Gallup 53% job approval poll...

[Lukey]

Ah, the fix was in:

Alan Abramowitz of Huffington Post and The Democratic Strategist noticed that Gallup has increased its share of nonwhites from 27 percent the week of the convention to 32 percent last week, a nearly 20 percent boost. In other words, Gallup seemed to have tweaked its methodology with just weeks to go until Election Day to reflect the criticism that has come from the left.

Um its a random phone sample Lukey....
And Gallup corrects for population demographics like that.

OR do you think that Gallup has some sort of magic secret sauce that lets them identify the race of the person simply from their phone number and hence they change whom they call

LOLLZZ

you are starting to sound like Jack "I cooked the books so I assume they are as well" Welch.

Every poll tells you something, unless they have completely fabricated the data. You just have to be willing to look under the hood to see if the results are really what they appear to be. Changing the demo in a tracking poll is kinda like cheating. You can't take any of these things at face value.

Doh!

Lukey on Gallup is like Humpty Dumpty on words-

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master that's all."

Or in other words....when Gallup HELPS you make your case, you say it is authoritative....

when it HURTS your case, you claim it's biased and inaccurate.

Got it.

I said exactly what I meant. I find your endless need to "translate" my posts in order for you to be able to mount any sort of rebuttal rather droll, in an annoying way...

And since Gallup DID NOT DO THIS... and since you PREVIOUSLY SAID

"I'll take Gallup" when it Helped your cause..

You come across as dishonest in what you write.

Apparently, Lukey has already met WND (aka World Nut Daily)
