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.
