I applaud Gallup for doing a follow up poll this soon. This poll shows 47 PL -46 PC, so basically dead even. IMO, it looks like the May Gallup poll was at outlier. With that said, their bottom line reasoning seems to be correct--there has been a movement toward the PL side in the past year among Republicans. However, as other polls have show, this has at best deadlocked things, not shown a significant PL lead like the May outlier did. http://www.gallup.com/poll/122033/U.S.-Abortion-Attitudes-Closely-Divided.aspx Gallup has a new poll out in August that follows up on the May poll.

If you like analyzing polls and scrutinizing their technical details, you would LOVE polls around Indian elections. It is a massive industry unto itself and there are countless psephologists analyzing and predicting and conducting an unbelievable amount of polls and surveys. And its amazing how often they get results wrong! Anyway, nice piece. Nothing's as simple as it appears on the surface. Oh man Kevin.
