Gallup Gallops Wrong -- Again

Polls

The polls are crazy.

But they've settled down to a tight race. Except for Gallup. All polls have the race tied, or Kerry slightly ahead, except for Gallup, which today says that Bush is 14 points ahead.

What?

Well, Gallup had Bush up by 13 in the last presidential election -- the week before the vote.

Gallup had Gore down by 13 points a week before the vote -- and Gore actually won the vote (by a small margin).

I"m not an optimist, but I do think Gallup doesn't pass the smell test.
