Gallup wasn't wrong about the 2012 presidential election

[TheGreatGatsby]

From the article:

In 2012, many national polls underestimated President Barack Obama’s standing leading up to election, but Gallup’s failure was especially visible because the Obama campaign had pushed back publicly against Gallup’s surveys. When Gallup, in mid-October of that year, released a poll showing Obama and Mitt Romney tied in the swing states, the Obama campaign — led by Joel Benenson, Obama's lead pollster — went so far as to question Gallup's methodology in a public memorandum.

Gallup’s final survey showed Romney leading Obama by 1 point — 4.9 points off from the final result, in which Obama prevailed by 3.9 points. It also misidentified the winner. That led to a lengthy and expensive effort by Gallup to retool its methodology, a process the pollster described back in 2013 as aimed at the next presidential election.

The very respected Gallup was not wrong. They were just the one polling company that hadn't been bought off. Of course, their results didn't match the ballot stuff activities of the Obama regime.

Gallup was very, very wrong, you fucking idiot.
In fact, one year later, Gallup was forced to settle out of court for a multi-million dollar sum to avoid prosecution for having cooked the books.

Gallup sucks in just so many ways.

Gallup was right...

And you didn't bother to post a link for your wild accusation.

OH, that was settled a long time ago and even posted right here in USMB, in 2014:

And in this year, Gallup had to settle again for another 15 million:

I will remind: Gallup itself openly admitted to having fucked up and having been wildly off in 2012. So, you can defend it if you want, but Gallup has already had its mea culpa moment.

Your OP describes how Gallup was 4.9 points off. And they predicted Romney would win. Yet you insist "Gallup was right". What am I missing here?

Probably more than I have time and space to explain....

That's not what you said the lawsuit was about. You're pathetic.
