Is Gallup’s place atop poll world slipping?

16. Why is the media so late to the story.

I'm an average Joe. I along with many people on this board were touting how far off Gallup's tracking and approval ratings were back in May and June!

And no, not because we were Obama supporters, but because it was very apparent their demographics and crosstabs didn't add up. In fact many said their registered voter model was a far omore accurate than their ridiculous likely voter model. And like almost every other piece of analysis here and at DK, that turned out to be accurate too!


Why are some people on this board so much smarter than the folks who are suppose to be experts and who actually do this for a living?


Its actually scary that the "so called experts" are so bad at their jobs and can be routinely schooled by political internet forum nerds this often.
