Vanity - Gallup has changed polling method per Jay Cost on twitter
Twitter | 10.10.12

I am so appalled by this late shift in method that I will not cite another Gallup poll in a column between now & Election Day.— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) October 10, 2012

I assume they’ve “changed their polling method” so as to guarantee that Obama is never less than eight or nine points ahead of Romney.

I assume this change in methodology has Mr. Axelrod's approval.

He says they’ve changed their method to give Obama what appears to be a 3-4 point boost in job approval.

Never mind that: Who’s Jay Cost, and why should I care what he thinks?

They have moved to 50-50 landline-cellphone from a 60-40 split.

I think it’s the correct move...more and more of us can only be reached via cellphones - that includes us Obama-despising Republicans!

I closely read Jay Cost’s “Horserace blog” eight years ago.
It was the most accurate of them all. The man is a genius
when it comes to anything having to do with elections. I hope
the Romney campaign seeks his advice.

According to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Gallup is selecting the questioners for next weeks Romney/Obama town hall style debate.

All will be "undecided voters".

I agree with you. A lot of people are dumping the landlines because of the incessant sales calls in defiance of the Don’t Call Registry. I am on the registry, and I get so many calls I turned on the “Do Not Disturb” feature of my land line, and only use it for outgoing calls and FAXes.

As for surveys, I usually refuse to answer, but sometimes, if I have the time, I lie like a rug. I hate polls.
