Quico says: Is it still gossip if Reuters is carrying it?

Consultores 30.11 coordinated an exit poll with Evans/McDonough Co., a U.S. pollster paid by the Venezuelan state oil company.

Their two pre-election opinion surveys published last month showed a lead for Chavez of around 20 points.

“The trend confirms the electoral scenarios presented by the two (pre-election) surveys done by the consultancy Evans/McDonough,” Campos said of the preliminary exit poll data.

Yes, PDVSA pays the bills, but Evans/McDonough is a serious pollster.
