Gallop Poll Workers Injured by Spontaneous Stampede of Horses

Lewisville, KY - October 23 - Sources at Fox News say that a group of 14 individuals assembling a gallop poll for the upcoming presidential election in Lewisville, KY, were severely injured when a stampede of horses apparently charged from out of nowhere.

Sources say that 9 of them were released from the hospital the following morning, but the remaining 5 had sustained terrible head injuries and multiple broken bones. It was not known when they'd be released.

Mary Ackno and her GallopPoll Express staff were compiling data on their computers at the home office, according to a report by a Lewisville newspaper. They were out on the porch, where some printouts were left to dry due to an earlier incident, and to take a break while discussing some business matters. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound.

With the pressures of completing the gallop poll in time, the pollsters considered just going back inside to finish their work.

Instead, say police, a stampede of horses trampled all of the staff at the same time, before disappearing as soon as they appeared. "Nobody had time to escape," said a local sheriff.

This is the first time a group of gallop pollsters was injured by a spontaneous stampede of horses, according to the American Society of Statistics.
