Gallup Caught Lying About the Generic Ballot Trend

The Gallup Generic Ballot is a trusted, widely reported resource. I've analyzed it extensively and defended it to others. But yesterday, when I covered the poll's latest release, Gallup lied. I was lied to, you were lied to, everyone who's trusted the Gallup name got lied to.

How? Gallup is combining two different sampling methods into one so-called trend of Registered Voters (complete with captioned graph), getting different results, but pretending they show one trend just the same.

Gallup subtly switched from sampling registered voters to sampling all adults to make the Democrats look much better on their generic congressional bollot than they otherwise would have.

When I click on the link, all I get is a “Not Found”.

Next week they will be sampling the incarcerated population.

That was pointed out in all the threads on this poll, but that didn’t stop freeper despondents from believing the Gallup poll and not believing the far more accurate Rasmussen poll. What kind of mentality does it take to look for reasons to despair and cling to them even though they are false, and ignore reasons to be optimistic that are far more reliable?

I like their lying position. It puts more scare into those of us with brains, and puts the complacency to libtards.

I await trash day (on November, remember to throw out your trash), and once again volunteer to operate the guillotine for the Obamaloon after he’s convicted.

Or you can here.

I posted the exact same thread not 10 minutes earlier than this one.

It’s all about trying to squash Republicans, conservatives, tea partiers excitement and to keep them from voting, while jizzing up the socialist Democrats base with hateful racial accusations.

Just go to redstate.com and the article will appear.

You deleted the _ between Neil and Stevens in the URL. That’s why the link broke.

[conservativegramma]

I KNOW. I posted the same thread complete with a working Red State link!

A Given...........Gallup is nothing more than another lamestream media Obama-protecting mechanism......

[library user]

You posted the same story, on a different thread. It’s impossible to post the same thread twice. :O)

I figure they’ll save the incarcerated numbers till October to coincide with their surprise.

If they do, the headline will read -

DEMS OPEN 20 POINT LEAD IN CONG GENERIC BALLOT.

"...everyone who's trusted the Gallup name got lied to."

Wha'd you leave me out for?
