Merger proposal

The stub article about Gallup Europe should be merged because information about a subsidiary fits better in one artice about the parent organization —Preceding unsigned comment added by CZmarlin (talk • contribs) 03:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to sign it last night! — CZmarlin 15:10, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. -Pgan002 (talk) 00:49, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've found Gallup Europe being merged. What about merger proposal from Gallup poll? I'd agree with that one too.. 2aprilboy ^talk 12:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Funding?

Where are Gallup polls funded from? This is an important issue that may bias the polls or at least public perception of the polls. I can't find anything about it on Gallup's website. -Pgan002 (talk) 00:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Management, Board of Directors, top managers - Information, please?

Not much history of the last 15 years of the organization, nor its governance, Board of Directors, top managers, are easy to find. I have never been thwarted before in finding who runs an organization. Very odd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mydogtrouble (talk • contribs) 18:37, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article omits valid critcism

Article is mainly corporate propaganda; no discussion of valid criticism of Gallup methodology by Alan Abramowitz (Alben W. Barkley Professor of Political Science at Emory University)Swantamer (talk) 19:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC)swantamer.[reply]

No he actually said, "The Gallup Poll should be commended for making their internals available to interested observers for secondary analysis -- few other polling organizations are so generous with their data. And to be fair to Gallup, they have cautioned that these results are not a prediction of what will happen on Election Day, only a snapshot of current voter attitudes."

The Gallup Organization → Gallup –

Our company goes by "Gallup" rather than "The Gallup Organization." "Gallup is more recognizable. It would be great if we could redirect "The Gallup Organization" page to the "Gallup" page. 206.205.24.242 (talk) 20:31, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Gallup has many meanings and is a long disambig page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose multiple uses, indeed we need to split off Gallup Poll into a separate article as well. -- 70.50.149.56 (talk) 23:35, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
