Recent Gallup polling has shown that the President’s popularity rating has taking a beating, but the results are being criticized by former Obama operative, David Plouffe, who alluded to the polling firm’s poor performance in last year’s elections.
Gallup has shown that President Obama’s three-day polling average has fallen below 50%, the lowest its been since his reelection. At the same time his disapproval rating has risen.
But in a March 27 Tweet, Plouffe slammed the results saying, “Never have so many been wrong by so much. But let’s still salivate over the latest Gallup numbers.”
During the 2012 election, Gallup’s results erred by badly projecting the electorate.
