Gallup Gives Up Presidential Polling

[mamooth]

A shame. Republicans won't have the hilariously biased Gallup polls to give them false hope this time around. As a reminder, Gallup's final call in 2012 was Romney +1.

Gallup gives up the horse race

But after a bruising 2012 cycle, in which its polls were farther off than most of its competitors, Gallup told POLITICO it isn't planning any polls for the presidential primary horse race this cycle. And, even following an internal probe into what went wrong last time around, Gallup won't commit to tracking the general election next year.

Gallup will still be doing "issues" polling, but not candidates polling. That way, there's no solid election result to compare the polling results against, so Gallup can still suck completely and not get laughed at.

About time

Their predictions are horrible

Gallup undersampled Illegals and the non-living

Once upon a time Gallup was synonymous with polling.

Now it is synonymous with sucking at polling.

G-tt sei dank!

Gallup war furchtbar schlecht sowohl in 2010 als auch in 2012.

I think their phone polling methodology is outdated and no longer correctly samples the population

Maybe if they sit out an election cycle, they can get it right

Like a faggot gives up pussy. It's not something they did well to begin with.
