Too bad that at exactly this time four years ago Gallup had Bush leading Gore by 13%.
They may have. But that was BEFORE the Thursday surprise by the Democrats who put the old DUI charge out there. That did some damage. Mainly because the American people didn't know Bush that well at the time. Now....I doubt something like that would bring his numbers down so much....as people know him and already trust him....or not.

So...how come you've turned off of Gallup? Weren't you swearing by them at one time? Is it when the polling changed over to Bush? Bottom line is Gallup is very well respected among just about everybody....and they were one of only about TWO polling organizations that was right about the 2000 race in the final polling they did just before election day.
