Exactly who does Gallup survey? Government employees? Union members? Indoctrinated college students? Registered Democrats?
I know these pollsters never ask me.
I don’t know how many different survey panels
Gallup has but I am on one of them. Most of their
topics bore the hell out of me but from time to
time they start off by asking a multiple choice
question regarding opinions of Obama’s job perform-
ance.
When GW was pres they would ask me to rate his
performance everytime they sent out a question-
aire. I don’t recall receiving such a question for
BO’s first year as pres. I complained about it when
they contacted me about another issue. Now I am
asked to rate Obama on most surveys.
I believe that when I signed on to do the Gallup
surveys I indicated that I am a Republican. I suspect
that when they are doing a political survey they
pull out X amount of panelists from various stacks
depending on party registration, etc. I don’t be-
lieve I always get picked for political surveys be-
cause I only recall a couple of totally political
questionaires e-mailed over the past several years
and obviously they do much more in the way of poli-
tical polling than that.
