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.Axelrod took to Twitter to direct people to an article by the National Journal’s Ron Brownstein suggesting a flaw in Gallup’s methodology. Brownstein compared Gallup’s demographic sampling predictions to previous election exit polls as well as contemporaneous research released by Pew, CNN/ORC and ABC/WaPo.
The heart of the Obama camp complaint lies with varying predictive models for 2012 turnout. Gallup had predicted a lower minority turnout, effecting Obama’s margin against Romney.
