Gallup is a garbage polling firm.

Their polls fluctuate because the do not set a parameter for likely voters and party affiliation.

This is why htey had a 30 point range between Bush and Kerry during the 2004 election.

Kerry +14 in the spring, Bush +16 in September.

They were both garbage because both advantages came as a result of oversampling both sides in each given poll.

I am not being childish.

You are defending an MSM and their biased polling data.

I know ZERO conservatives who would do that.

Being right regarding a biased Newsweek poll would only angry a liberal poser.

You obviously don't understand Gallup's likely voter model, and I'm not going to spend time educating you.

I certainly don't consider an exit poll to be as authentic as census variables, I thought we all learned that lesson after last November.

But if you want to stand by the likes of MoveOn.org in going after poll results you don't like, I'm not going to get in your way.

I also know very few conservatives who revert to ad hominem attacks when having a discussion.
