In order to help calm Freepers, I’ll post this again...

Gallup finally mentioned their party affiliation numbers in the article associated with their final poll. Here are those numbers:

Democrat - 39%
Independent - 31%
Republican - 29%

Here are the numbers from exit polling in the 2004 election:

Democrat - 37%
Republican - 37%
Independent - 26%

Here are the numbers from exit polling in the 2006 election:

Democrat - 38%
Republican - 36%
Independent - 26%

Do they really believe that the gap has gone from 0 in 2004 to +2 for the Democrats in 2006 to +10 for the Democrats in 2008?

Gallup has crashed and burned Today.

We should demand a BAN on all POLLING 30 days before an election after this SCAM run by the OBama and its agents like Gallup and Ras and ARG and PEW and the rest of the Obama media which showed its true Obama -DNC AGENDA this YEAR !
The rest of the world BANS polling so why are we allowing this PUSH polling scam to continue !

Past Gallup performance - the only big miss was 1992, when they missed by 6 (assigning too much of Perot vote to Clinton). In 1996, 2000, 2004 they were within 3% from the correct margin.
