[quote=Anonymous]The second poll (Gallup - pro-Romney) makes more sense to me but I'd like to see an analysis of why the wide swing between the two polls. Ah, I took a look at the Reuters poll which put Obama ahead. Two things: 1) They are using an interesting approach to sampling from the internet which they claim they have cleared with experts but it makes me uncomfortable - then again I'm not a sampling expert so what do I know? 2) The other thing I find odd is that their graphic identifies the opinions of "Veterans and their families" versus "Non-veterans." It sounds like they are including non-veterans married to veterans (or children or parents of veterans) in that group. If so, that might explain why there's such a big difference between the two polls. The Gallup poll is very clear that they only are only putting veterans in their veterans category. But the Reuters people really need to clarify that "veterans and their families" item.[/quote]
