Time to preempt the Gallup poll.

[geek tragedy]

1. 5-6 National polls now showing very close/Kerry ahead

2. Gallup's god awful recent history:

George W Bush has surged to a 13-point opinion poll lead over Al Gore with just 10 days to go before the US presidential election on November 7.
Mr Bush, the Republican nominee, is on 52%, with the Democrat, Mr Gore, now trailing on 39% in the latest Gallup daily tracking poll for CNN and USA Today. The Green candidate, Ralph Nader, has 4%


Buzz phrase: Remember last time someone had a 13 point lead in the Gallup Poll.

Time to attack the Gallup poll and discredit it.

1. Nice. Spread it far and wide.

I gonna send out a e-mail to all my friends and family titled "Bush surges to big lead." They'll get the joke.

2. 10 Days before the election

To be objective, we should point out that the Bush DUI story broke about 5-6 days before the election and it surely had an impact.

3. Not on other polls, it didn't.

ABC News and The Washington Post both have daily tracking polls today putting the race at 48 percent for Bush and 45 percent for Gore. The latest Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby tracking poll has the contest at 45 percent for Gore and 43 percent for Bush.

7. Gallup Poll

I was only referring the the change in the Gallup poll prior to the 2000 election.

6. No. Zogby had it tied well before then. The DUI story had virtually no

impact.

4. Is Gallup a Republican?
