Gallop pisses me off. They said it was going to be 9 percent and here we are again at 8.3. What is this gallop anyway? Is it a poll?

Gallup does a survey of 27.5K in the employment sector, and the BLS surveys 100K. The numbers of surveyed are different, but the methodologies are similar.

EXCEPT... the BLS applies the special-sauce” treatment of “seasonal adjustment.”

Gallup uses the same methodology as Obama's BLS. Except they don't spin and massage numbers.

Who you gonna believe, Gallup or Obama?

Gallup got its 9% from its own poll, not the gov’t numbers.
