Gallup's recent polls have been a bit off compared to others, noting a ten percentage point gap at least between Bush and Kerry, whereas others have found the race to be closer. Given the volatility of this season's polls in general what I'm noting may be old news, but it appears that one possible reason for the difference is because of Gallup's assumptions. In as much as polls can drive behavior and attitudes, this is a significant issue.
For the same reason you won't see this story.

I've seen little commentary about the Gallup polling method.
I wonder why.
