    With a 7.2 average error....seems that Gallup and to a lesser degree, Rasmussen are compromised...



    It was one of the best-known polling firms, however, that had among the worst results. In late October, Gallup consistently showed Mr. Romney ahead by about six percentage points among likely voters, far different from the average of other surveys. Gallup’s final poll of the election, which had Mr. Romney up by one point, was slightly better, but still identified the wrong winner in the election. Gallup has now had three poor elections in a row. In 2008, their polls overestimated Mr. Obama’s performance, while in 2010, they overestimated how well Republicans would do in the race for the United States House.

    Interesting - I wasn't aware that Google had a polling firm.

    I never take the surveys. Anyone who's willing to take the random time to complete a tele-survey isn't someone who's opinion I want anyhow.
