Gallup poll is known to lean toward conservative. Here is an article from today on polls in general.

ROTFLOL!

that’s a real hoot to see the uber-leftist economist website try to knock down the rising poll numbers for Donald Trump’s popularity ... following their reasoning, polls indicating Trump’s chances of winning the 2016 elections should not have been as high as 2%, but should have been somewhere around -120% ...

oh, btw, your ridiculous, unsubstantiated claim that “Gallup poll is KNOWN to lean toward conservative” is equally hilarious ...

KNOWN by whom exactly? anyone besides yourself? care to present any actual evidence that gallup is KNOWN to be biased towards conservatives? i mean, KNOWN besides yourself, of course ...

Cause we know gallup is so conservative. They were the only poll to accurately predict Trump would win the election - oh whoops.

The political leanings of the various polling outfits has been a discussion item in my family over the years. This is partly because my late husband was housemates with George Gallup’s son, Alec I think, who we met one time in Princeton. Thus this was a topic of special interest to us.

Here is a link regarding the Republican leanings of 2 polling organizations, including Gallup. Whether this is caused by political preference as suggested for Rasmussen, or possibly outdated methodology for Gallup is not for me to decide or answer.

I was working for a Congressman at the time of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution vote. It was very controversial and there was a lot of discussion and argument in the office. I was not sure what the better answer might be so I read the very long article on Vietnam in the Encyclopedia Britannica. After reading it I decided the arguments between North and South Vietnam were 700 years old, preventing being swallowed by China was long standing issue, thus the Domino Theory probably was not valid. I then felt we should bow out of that war as gracefully as possible. I think that Kennedy was assassinated because he wanted to pull out of Vietnam, and there were $billion dollar contracts for construction by important Texas construction firms who had Johnson connections. I think they wanted Johnson in office.

dude, the Manchester Guardian is a kommie UK rag that is even MORE UBER-LEFTIST than the economist; absolutely NOTHING they publish can be believed, other than simply to assume that the opposite of everything that they say is what is actually true ... so OF COURSE the uber-leftist UK Guardian is going to assert that that pretty much every poll that isn’t massively leftist biased is “conservative” ...

you’re going to have to find a non-leftist source if you want to have ANY credibility at all regarding your ridiculous assertion that it is KNOWN that Gallup is biased for conservatives ...still it’s a total hoot that the only thing you could find is an eight year old article by the ultra-leftist Manchester Guardian to “prove” that it is KNOWN that Gallup is biased towards conservatives ...

The actual numbers must be higher for them to even be posting a positive vs negative number;even massaging the party spreads isn’t working for them.(at least without looking like total frauds and nincompoops).

Gallup: Trump Has A Positive Approval Rating For First Time Ever

Partner, he has had a positive approval rating for a long time now.

Remember that the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Political Pollsters" are making these polls. It is time they stop and report the actual results.

I saw a poll recently and I quit reading when I saw they had oversampled DemonRat voters versus President Trump voters. They oversampled by around 12% in this poll.
