David Plouffe, a former top Obama adviser who managed the President’s 2008 campaign, took to Twitter on Thursday to take a swipe at Gallup for its poor performance during the 2012 campaign.
@jonfavs @pfeiffer44 @jfkjrforum Never have so many been wrong by so much. But let’s still salivate over the latest Gallup numbers.

Gallup’s daily tracking survey showed Mitt Romney with consistent leads over Obama in the final days before the election last fall, eventually leading to widespread criticism of the national polling organization. The Obama team has appeared to relish the post-election pile on. In November, Jim Messina, Obama’s 2012 campaign manager, argued that Gallup has had a shoddy track record in presidential elections “for a long time.”
