Final and extensive analysis by Gallup

Realistically, they need to sample about 500 - 1000 people PER state, and break up the electoral college that way. There is no way that 2000 people sampled total would be enough to represent all of the american people and their individual powers to vote.

With the electoral college system, the total votes (percentage) is a mostly meaningless number. Heck, Gore had more votes than Bush, but Bush has the connections and ended up with the job.

Sampling each of the states would give a MUCH better indication of who is going to get elected, not who is going to get the most votes. Gallup is producing a poll that gives people the mistaken impression that each vote counts (and it doesn't!).

Bush is toast. The question is "lightly done" or "burnt".
