Allah Pundut does some good stuff at Hotair but she is unquestionably anti-Palin. I don’t expect everyone to love Palin but Allah always takes any chance even if it involves a polling unit that is notoriously off-the-mark with it’s adult-only polling and consistent near-to-last-place finishes on pre-election day Presidential polls.

While I agree that Gallup is next worthless, Pollster actually does have a good track record with respect to accuracy. As you may know, they are the "poll of the polls". While it's true that it was founded by a former Democrat pollster, the last published poll they had before the election, was pretty good. I believe they were just 1% off where Obama actually ended up, and they predicted 52% rather than the 53% where he finished. Plus, they're quite transparent about what polls they include in their sample. There's a lot, and a fair percentage of GOP-friendly polls.

If you're not a follower of Pollster, they're worth a look.
