I have built a dataset that combines monthly Gallup polls during the
presidential election season. To this I have added some additional variables
as controls (eg, the relevant CPI rate during the month each poll was
taken). I am attempting to run an xtlogit with one-period lags and get the
following error message:

number of quadrature points must be less than or equal to number of
observations.

I am not sure what's wrong ... I have more than 10,000 observations in the
dataset.

Section 3.3 of Statalist says:

"Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did) in
response. N.B. exactly! If you can, reproduce the error with one of
Stata's provided datasets or a simple concocted dataset that you
include in your posting."
