While this isn't blatantly Republican/McCain, this is pretty obviously a secret motive for either corporate gain for Gallup, or for boosting McCain's positives. It seems that Gallup is being pretty loose in choosing which information to use in representing their polling results. The gist: after the Republican convention, Gallup used a slice of polled voters known as "likely voters," (which leans Republican because it reduces the number of young and minority voters), to paint the picture that McCain had a huge upswing in support after his convention. In reality, the poll just had a shift towards more Republican respondants.
"This was a deliberate choice by Gallup and USA Today -- to release a poll that would maximize the impression of McCain's bounce and help shape the campaign narrative in favor of McCain-Palin's favor."
