11. You choose to take Gallup at its word
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 11:10 PM by ProSense
The flaws pointed out were convincing, and Gallup's response lame.

Charlie Cook has made enough mistakes as well ridiculous comments over the years.

Nate spent almost all of his time prior to going to the NYT criticizing the hell out of all the polls.

Up until Pew made the point about cell phones versus landlines, none of these polling organizations highlighted the impact of this omission.

So don't pretend that they're above criticism. It's not the first time that polling organizations have gotten caught on a flawed bandwagon. They shift their polling methods from time to time, and that leaves room for error.
