Gallup Polls- Conditioning for Vote Rigging?

[Thurston Howell IV]

The recent polls showing a large Bush lead seem to be designed to either discourage Democratic voters and/or condition the American public for a Bush victory based on vote rigging. The methodology that seems to be in use by Gallup and most other polling firms connected to large corporations are greatly over weighted to give Republicans excessive representation and do not give sufficient weight to Democratic voters based on historical voting trend. Polls by independent polling organizations that are using properly weighted samples (like Zogby, Pew Research, Harris and others) are not showing a significant Bush lead and some have Kerry ahead!

While most political analysts predict the largest Democratic voter turn-out in history, Gallup is predicting in their methodology that Republicans will be 7-8% more of the total electorate than Democrats actually voting on election day. Based on the most recent elections, Democrats have usually been 7-8% more of the total electorate when the actual votes were counted. The swing in numbers using Gallup’s distorted methodology would tend to give Bush a “fake” lead in the neighborhood of 15%.

As voters, we need to ask ourselves “why Gallup would use a methodology that would almost definitely mean that their election predictions would be wrong?” These writers are somewhat baffled in answering that question. Why would Gallup want to give the false impression of a Bush lead?

It is interesting to note that James Clifton who bought the Gallup organization is a big Republican donor.

1. I agree completely

This is all part of the fake campaign. Today you have fake crowds at Bush rallies, fake polls, fake ballot counting, and a fake media. The fake polls are nothing more than window dressing for the latest fake election. There won't be any VNS this time to dispute the veracity, so the media will just perform its role as imprimatur of the fraud.

2. The evidence is clear, the Corporate Polls like Bu$h. I have been

telling everyone I come in contact with that any poll, (Except Fox, believe it or not), that has a CNN, ABC, CBS, TIME, NEWSWEEK, WAPO, NYT next to it has really high numbers for the Chimp. The polls that hve no or little corporate media backing like Zogby, Tipp, DCP, all have Kerry with in a 3 pt range of Bush. DCP 49 to 49, Zogby 44 to 47
Pew 46 to 46.

So, what do these numbers tell yall?
