		In the final USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup poll before the election, President Bush held a 49-47 edge over Sen. John Kerry when the undecided voters were not allocated to a particular candidate.
		When Gallup, using a statistical model that assumes that 9 of 10 of those voters would support Kerry, allocated the voters, the poll ended as a dead heat with each candidate garnering 49%.
		The Gallup allocation formula is based on analyses of previous presidential races involving an incumbent.

	No. 1199: Gallup Poll
		The expression "straw poll" goes back to rural America where it derived from another old saying, "straws in the wind." A farmer once threw a handful of straws into the air to see which way the wind was blowing.
		Gallup knew that such samples were biased toward people with means.
		His mistake was to quit polling two weeks before the election with fourteen percent of the electorate still undecided.

	The Gallup Poll - FAQ
		For national Gallup polls, in other words, the objective is to present the opinions of a sample of people which are exactly the same opinions that would have been obtained had it been possible to interview all adult Americans in the country.
		Gallup polls across the twelve presidential elections held between 1936 and 1984 were highly accurate, with the average error in Gallup's final estimate of the election being less than 3 percentage points.
		In the case of Gallup polls which track the election and the major political, social and economic questions of the day, the target audience is generally referred to as "national adults." Strictly speaking the target audience is all adults, aged 18 and over, living in telephone households within the continental United States.

	Dilbert Is Right, Says Gallup Study
		While Gallup's employee engagement research has always shown that managers have the greatest influence on worker engagement, Gallup researchers also wanted to examine aspects of the physical work environment to determine which of them presented the biggest barriers to employee engagement and performance.
		Gallup research indicates that engaged employees are more productive, profitable, safer, create stronger customer relationships, and stay longer with their company than less-engaged employees.
		When Gallup asked employees if they are able to personalize their workspace to make it feel like their own, employees who answered affirmatively to this question were 55% more likely to be engaged.

	The Gallup Poll- Four in 10 Republicans Would Not Find McCain an 'Acceptable' Nominee - AOL News (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gallup's June 26-29 poll tested Democrats' (and Democrat-leaning independents') reactions to 13 potential candidates and Republicans' (and Republican leaning independents') reactions to 12 potential candidates.
		While none of the politicians evaluated in the poll have officially announced their candidacies for president, many have laid the groundwork for a run by visiting early primary and caucus states like Iowa or New Hampshire or by setting up political action committees to raise money for themselves and other candidates.
		The current poll's sample size of 441 Republicans and leaners limits the amount of subgroup analysis available, but the data show that conservative Republicans are less likely to deem McCain acceptable (49%) than Republicans who identify themselves as moderates or liberals (66%).

	Why You Should Ignore The Gallup Poll This Morning - And Maybe Other Gallup Polls As Well - The Left Coaster 17sep04
		I asked Gallup, who have been very courteous to my requests, to send me this morning their sample breakdowns by party identification for both their likely and registered voter samples they use in these national and I suspect their state polls.
		Worse yet, Gallup just confirmed for me that this is the same sampling methodology they have been using this whole election season, for all their national and state polls.
		The Gallup Poll, which showed no erosion of momentum, was conducted at roughly the same time as the second wave of polling done by the Pew Center.

	The First Measured Century: Program: Segment 7 - The Gallup Poll
		Gallup sent out hundreds of interviewers across the country, each of whom was given quotas for different types of respondents; so many middle-class urban women, so many lower-class rural men, and so on.

	Gallup Poll Offers Hope for House GOP
		For example, Democrats outpaced Republicans in Republican-held districts in several polls, with their advantage peaking at an astounding 11-point margin (51% to 40%) in late June.
		Interestingly, Gallup also reviewed its last pre-election poll in 2004 and learned that Republicans managed to expand their House and Senate majorities with an identical 54%-to- 40% margin of support in their own districts.
		Gallup rightly concludes that “the ‘action’ in this year’s House elections will be in the Republican-held districts” and that whether they maintain or increase that support “will be key to their ability to keep partisan control of the U.S. House.”

	Poll: Couric Gets More Negative Response

		The Gallup survey was based on telephone interviews with 1,007 adults conducted from April 23 to 26.

		The poll did contain one bright spot for Bush, as 60 percent of those surveyed supported the confirmation of John Roberts, his pick for chief justice of the United States.
		But only 25 percent of those polled said they had great confidence in his administration's ability to rebuild the city and other Gulf Coast communities battered by Katrina, which slammed ashore August 29.
		The chaotic response and sharp criticism of federal authorities prompted the resignation of Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown and raised fears that the federal response to a major terrorist attack would be equally disorganized.

	CSICOP / News / New Poll Points to Increase in Paranormal Belief
		Now a recent Yankelovich Partners poll lends further support to the notion that belief in the paranormal is on the rise.
		The Yankelovich results are difficult to verify since other polls conducted by the Gallup Organization and Roper Reports indicate relatively little change in belief for the topics asked by Yankelovich.
		In 1992, in a paper titled "Phantom Changes on Paranormal Beliefs", Clark criticized a 1990 Gallup poll that showed apparent substantial growth in belief of certain paranormal phenomena as a "methodological artifact." He cited differences in response options and question wording between the 1990 poll and the comparison Gallup poll from 1978.
