Someone else posted that we were down by 11 points in Gallup between 10/1-10/7 in 2000. Now we're committing suicide 'cause we're tied. We're a bunch of wimps.
No kidding.
The fact remains that (so far) Gallop is the only one to show any significant movement towards Kerry, and even at that only arriving at a tie. NEWSWEEK was debunked. CBS tried to front a phony story, dug in the internals, Bush posted more gains on undecideds. RASS show little movement, and mostly positive for the Prez. The other polls have basically shown a tie or been exposed.
Now I'm not saying this Gallop poll is a fraud. I am saying I want the weight of Party resondents to compare next to the previous poll. people had already noted gallop oversampled republicans earlier. If they adjusted that weighting in this poll or sampled more Dems, we arrive at the reason for the dramatic shift in numbers.
I can accept a Kerry small bounce, I have difficulty believing the extent shown here with only 1# left undecided.
Why hasn't Gallop posted the party weighting yet?
