| Soleron said: The Gallup numbers especially look ridiculous. |
Among opinion poll pundits Gallup and their methodology is a laughing stock.
Huff post, along with Nate Silver called it right for each state. So over all the state by state polls were spot on. The National polls were the ones that seemed skewed by polling methods.
And for those blaming Republican apathy for Romney's loss consider this:
On the NPV Obama got way fewer votes in 2012 vs 2008 (7.4 million less), Romney got pretty close to McCain's numbers in 2008 (1.2 million less). McCain 2008 still would not have beaten Obama 2012. Bush 2004 would have lost to Obama 2008 by 48,000 votes. So don't go blaming Romney by himself for the loss.
