“Wow! Did not expect that. I expected to see 50-46 today as Gallup succumbed to pressure
Gallup even has Romney up in Registered voters
Someone .. somewhere... is getting spanked...”
I see this as just the opposite. I think this is the revenge of Gallup. I think they are real PO’d with what Axelrod and his justice dept goons have done with their phony lawsuit against Gallup, and Gallup also realizes that the best way to have this lawsuit go nowhere is to have Romney and the Pubs in office, not the bully Obama Admin who will proceed with the lawsuit to punish Gallup for having the temerity to try to do their job honestly. At this point in time, two weeks before the election, it is Gallup that has the power, not Obama and his minions.
All Gallup has to do is be exceedingly honest in their polling, weight it properly without the typical extra stone on the Obama side of the scale, and Obama becomes toast. Voila, this very influential poll gives great hope and inspiration to the Pubs, helps to show Independents that they will be on the winning side voting for Romney, and depresses the heck out of the Dems. Gallup strikes back by posting truthful polls, not Dem influenced lies. Hah, payback is the pits, Dems, isn’t it?
Can somebody in laymen’s terms explain what this Axelrod/Holder/DOJ lawsuit against Gallup is all about? Apparently they are suing Gallup because they are unhappy with Gallup’s methodology? Can somebody explain how they can get away with this?
That seems to be what is happening, which is surprising, because libs are usually ideology first, personal interest second. Maybe they realize Romney is pretty liberal, so they are comfortable with him winning.
Your post is excellent. The analysis of what Gallup is up to these last two weeks is spot on.
Ah, how I love the sound of galluping off in the distance right now.
