Gallup Internally Reviewing Polling Methodology
Faced criticism after the 2012 presidential election
After misreading the 2012 presidential election and facing criticism in the aftermath, Gallup polling has undertaken an internal review and will announce the findings next month.
"We are in the process of finishing a full review of all methodological issues relating to our 2012 election polling. The process is being led by a blue-ribbon group of outside experts. We will be reporting our findings at an event on June 4 at our offices in Washington," Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport told POLITICO's Mike Allen in Playbook on Monday.
