The Obama Administration’s Justice Department announced, on August 22nd, that it was joining a lawsuit by a former Gallup employee and whistleblower against the Gallup Corporation for allegedly overcharging the government on polling work.

The announcement comes on the heels of a confrontation between Gallup staffers and Obama strategist David Axelrod in which he accused the company of using out of date sampling methods which, he said, generated polling data negative to the president.

The whistleblower’s lawsuit has been kicking around since 2009, but the Justice Department joined the suit only after the run-in between Axelrod and Gallup in April of this year.

In a scene right out of a typical authoritarian regime, Fox News reports that “employees at the venerable Gallup polling firm suggested they felt threatened by Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod when he questioned the methodology of a mid-April poll showing Mitt Romney leading the president – according to internal emails published Thursday.”

That poll that sent Axelrod ballistic showed Romney leading Obama 48-43 percent.

Bump vs the flatline has been fun to watch - but IMO

it's going to make the R&R camp double down with more attacks between now and the debates and there's no telling what kind of October surprise they're trying to cook up.

Something about this year is really beginning to get on my nerves, though. I HATE the way Citizen's United has changed the way campaigns are run....AND the way they are covered in the media. The candidates rarely go anywhere except swing states, which are being carpet bombed with ads the rest of us outsiders don't see half the time unless the media deems them worthy of coverage. I make a point to follow these shenanigans but STILL end up feeling left out of the process that worked just fine in the past. I am so happy the dems put CU repeal in their platform, but fear it's going to be long, long haul before this changes, and really do not appreciate being left out of the loop. Whether it was intended or not, I just think the whole thing has been so destructive to the overall process on so many different levels.

Here's hoping the bump holds and the gap widens. I'm personally anxious to see what the polls look like in a couple of weeks, going into the debates and beyond.

I also think that more people are beginning to pay - attention now. SM

Once that happens, Obama's numbers will continue to rise. I'm sure of that.

Watch the debates and then see. I bet Romney - wins them all by a landslide. nm

There may be only one question left to answer - and we'll have to leave that for the historians: Who will go down as the worst President in US history - Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama? I think the answer will depend in part on whether Obama misbehaves and interjects himself into national affairs once he's out of office in the shameful way that Carter has done. If he does, he'll probably edge Carter out as the worst President in history. ...

I think it was about 10 days ago or so that I predicted a 7-point popular vote win for Romney and a 30-vote win in the electoral college. If he's up by 7 points now, he might win by more since late-deciders usually vote against the incumbent. ...

President Barack Obama, who campaigned on a promise to unify America, instead has become the most polarizing president in modern history.A Gallup Poll finds that the gap in Obama's approval rating in his sixth year in office between those who like him, Democrats, and those who do not, Republicans, has held steady at 70 percent, with 79 percent of Democrats voicing approval and only 9 percent of Republicans doing likewise. Since the days of President Dwight Eisenhower, in 1953, onl ...

The federal government ranks dead last in a new Gallup poll measuring Americans' views of U.S. business and industry sectors. More than half of the public -- 55 percent -- said their view of the federal government was either "very negative" or "somewhat negative." Seventeen percent expressed a "neutral" view of the federal government, and only 28 percent viewed the federal government as "very positive" or "somewhat positive." Of the five worst-rated U.S. business sectors, the federal ...

It was very interesting. One guy showed Obama where he grew up in the Harlam and what it was like for him growing up. It was just a very g ...

President Obama rose above the fray in his response to Clint Eastwood’s RNC speech Thursday night by praising his work as an actor and director, citing Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River as examples of his expertise. No criticism. No speculation. Just praise for a job well done. Grace and style. I would expect nothing less. By contrast, on Meet the Press this morning, Newt graciously admitted the Eastwood thing had been a distraction, then promp ...
