Waiting for Gall-dot? Twitter users attempt to cope with delayed Gallup results

The latest Gallup numbers were due out at 1 p.m. EDT today, but — gasp! — they’re late!

Oh noes! How will the poll-obsessed Twitterverse get through these dark, dark minutes?

I think Gallup's new deliveryman, Godot, just isn't working out so far.

Oh, boy. A Rick Roll? Really. This must end.

Update:

Thankfully, Gallup has put an end to the increasingly painful time-killing tweets. Our long national nightmare is over!

Today's Gallup: 51-46%. I'm starting become a believer.
