Christopher,
This one
does have teaching relevance for
me. I will talk about sampling at least briefly in my stats course
within the
next two weeks. I often use political polls as examples there. Have you
seen
anything about the Gallup methodology
that is producing the non-representative sample? Given
the consistency it seems unlikely to be the result of sampling error.
I'm afraid I have no more information than was given in the article.

Since I'm already in trouble for broaching
"political" topics
here (use your delete
key now!),
here is one which bears greatly on topics of fair statistical analysis
of data
(psychological or otherwise). What is George Gallup's political
affiliation
anyway? Read on...
