Like most Romney supporters, I’m grabbing at straws to find hope in the recent polls.
Gallup has some recent numbers that have me scratching my head.
Last week, according to Gallup, Obama’s approval rating skyrocketed.
According to my analysis, Gallup had Obama’s approval jumping by an unprecedented 12 points in a single day.
Technical note: To isolate daily movements, I “unpacked” the 3 -day averages to see what the newest day’s score would have had to be to move the 3-day average.
Really?
The economy’s tanking and the Middle East is afire … and Obama’s approval jumps.
Just doesn’t pass the smell test.
So, I did a little digging.
Here’s an article I picked up from earlier in the month.
Senior Obama Campaign adviser David Axelrod reportedly contacted The Gallup Organization to discuss the company’s research methodology after their poll’s findings were unfavorable to the President.
After declining to adjust their methodology, Gallup was named in an unrelated lawsuit by the DOJ.
Probably unrelated to the numbers, but sure looks funny.
