Similarly, what percentage of people don't instantly equate "Gallup" with "good pollster"? It will take a while for that to change.

I mean how many people who don't really care that much about politics have actually heard of Nate Silver? His name recognition has certainly gone up since Election Day but my guess is most folks heard/read his name once in the immediate aftermath of the election and that was about it. So no surprise then to see them trusting Gallup more.
