The Glenn Beck Rally attendance has become something of a dispute between various parties.
The attendance figures that various parties give are so different it’s amazing.
It is always tough to figure out the number of people at an event, and it is usually done by estimations, using high resolution imagery. Still, accurate data, if the event has no tickets, is almost impossible to give.
So the Glenn Beck Rally did have a large attendance. The organizers, when asking for a permit, estimated 300,000 people coming. Now Beck says that the attendance could have been between 300000 (low end) and 650000 (high one).
Some firms that were hired to estimate the attendance said that the attendance could have been between 78000 and 96000. The average of what analysts said was around 87000.
What’s the truth? Impossible to say.
