Galluped v. gal·luped, gal·lup·ing, gal·lups

About ten days ago I came cross this story. “ PRINCETON, NJ -- Democrats pulled ahead of Republicans, 49% to 43%, in voters' generic ballot preferences for the 2010 congressional elections. ” Here's a few synchronous news items featured on Drudge. Halperin: Dems Start to Panic as Reality Sets In... POLL: Obama a Hindrance on Fall Elections... POLL: ANY REPUBLICAN WOULD BEAT OBAMA IN '12... Whites, Independents Deserting Obama... PAPER: The Tax Tsunami On The Horizon... Unemployment rate above 7% through Obama term... OBAMA SIGNS MASSIVE NEW GOV'T REGULATIONS -- AT REAGAN BUILDING! Yup.  All the ingredients for a sudden switch to the Democrats are there *snort*. Here's Gallup's reasoning for this bolt-from-the- blue shift towards the Obamunists. “ It's possible the increased voter support for Democratic candidates this past week is linked with the Wall Street regulatory reform bill that passed in the U.S. Senate last Thursday, July 15. The financial reform bill is the second-biggest piece of legislation to get through Congress this year, ” I know people around here were beside themselves with glee over ... what was that  ... the financial reform bill?   Was lots of anxiety it wouldn't get passed.  Some widders got a palsy worryin' about it.  Whew.  Today one of the few independent pollsters, one with a reputation for accuracy, stepped up to the plate.  “ Rasmussen: Generic Congressional Ballot Generic Congressional Ballot: Republicans 46%, Democrats 36% ” Gallup had a reputation for being reputable once.  So did the AP, CBS, ABC.... .  Once.
