Gallup Tracking Poll Thread [Obama vs McCain]

Weather or not you believe me is irrelevant.

*facepalm*

Sorry, I was trying to get the election day forecast at the time I typed it. 

Don't worry, I'm not going to slag on your intellect.  We agree too often for that.

Gallup must be certain of what they're doing here. They're basically putting their entire reputation on the line here. If the election is close, they are gonna look like fools.

Here's hoping that they're spot on!

To be fair, I think Gallup is stronger with less dynamic issues.  (Same with Pew.)

I'd personally rather that they stick to their World Poll and other similar work, which is uniformly fantastic.

Remember what Gallup is particularly susceptible to...

As much as the tracking poll is interesting, at some point we will want to have this entire board semi-retired as we did with 2004. Tracking official job performance is probably more appropriate on the US General board.
