I seem to remember my statistics classes the other way round: The quality of data is determined by the way it is gathered. The bits about the controversy over YouGov's methodology are the important bits of that Times article. “if the data is good, why not gather it a new way?”

We need real involvement in social issues, not betting on a adminsitration of promises. Jeff writes in April 2005 - It must defeat gaming: This is the killer. The obvious fear is that Republicans will masquerade as Democrats, or vice versa, to fake the results ... I say - This is a major aspect of todays news, heres our spin, join us won't you, and probably with a one sided take folks will. A true election site with all spins presented, the gaming killer wouldn't have a chance, short of lies presented and believed. It would be nice if the site had a truthy index, and a favored index to grade comments for sanity. The big item is security and one vote to an individual or company.
