Gallup, ever vigilent, is making a last minute attempt to preserve the value of its public opinion polling business.

Two things ~ PEW says response rates are down to 9%. Muawiyah guesses that's due to Caller ID which makes it possible for folks to know who is trying to call them ~ so they can pick and chose!

Going beyond that Gallup has spent the last year asking their sample people about their sexual inclinations ~ no doubt to just find out how many gays are out there, but also to identify other characteristics that denote gays so they can, Voila! EXCLUDE THEM FROM THEIR REPORTS.

When we left off Gallup said there were about 3.5% gays in this country. With a 9% response rate (PEW report), and understanding gays always do the polls, that means they are overreported as much as 1100%. Same with their mates the Feminazis, and the Abortion business!

These three groups combined are probably 1% or less of the sample population, but they provide as much as 11% of the responses.

Gallup is telling us now that if they simply drop these people ~ who are probably also Democrats ~ from the results Romney, by reputation a straight guy, is sweeping all before him.

Watching the reports of all the trouble in the Northeast from the storm I think it may be a blowout for MItt.
Thanks for all the great input. I was blown away by the Pew report. It explains alot. I hope we can put an end to polls like this as it seems to unduly shift opinions. I believe in England only internal polls are allowed about two weeks before an election. I like that idea. I also don't care if we know who won an election on that night. It doesn't matter as they don't take office the next day. I am against anything that can influence an election in these ways.
