May want to check it out on WABC 770 in NYC or WLS 890 Chicago
Bob Brinker is a disappointment of late. He is too political for a financial analyst and it hurts his image. He claims to have been a Democrat, but moved to Independent status some years ago. Yet, he spent this year reading all of the bash-Bush books on the NY Times bestseller list [Richard Clarke, Kevin Phillips and Ron Suskind]???
It's sickening to hear Brinker contradict himself on the air these days. And the reverence he showed Zogby a few weeks ago had me duct taping my head to keep it from exploding. Plus, Zogby already told Sydney Zion earlier this week that Kerry would win -- so who cares what he says today? Plus, John's brother Jim Zogby is the president of CAIR, a muslim organization that advocates the ouster of Mr. Bush.
I used to carry multiple subscriptions to his newsletter at $185 per year[for family members], but axed them when they came up for renewal last year. On the financial side, Brinker has given good and sound advice over 18 years with the exception of a recommendation during the contested 2000 election to put one-quarter of your holdings into the QQQ's which traded at $78 at the time. If you bought the Q's at $78 or higher on his recommendation, you are either angry or broke.
I'm calling it "liberal bias".
Yea since when does a polster use hunches? Isn't he supposed to have a methodology?
"Plus, Zogby already told Sydney Zion earlier this week that Kerry would win -- so who cares what he says today?"
And as of a few seconds ago, he hasn't changed his mind.
A "hunch" is by definition an expression of bias.
Just said Daschle is in trouble.
At least he is calling So Dakota for Thune. "Daschle is in real trouble".
Has Bush up in Ohio; down a point in Florida; down in Pennsylvania.
Zogby is not enthusiastic about Dashel's chances for reelection.
Thinks the pres is up in Ohio and must take it to win the election.
Bush down FL, MN, IA, WI.
Thinks Bush can make it up in FL, but is doubtful becasue the undecideds vote for challenger.
Brinker acknowledges that Bush's Florida speech this morning was rousing.
This bit about who the undecideds break for is amusing. Zogby says one thing and has held so hard and fast to it that he's using it to keep himself afloat...others have said the exact opposite and I would think that in a time of war the undecideds would break for the incumbant...
"Wouldn't call FL for anything."
Thinks undecideds are conteplating the problems in Iraq and will vote for Kerry if they think he can do better.
But earlier said Kerry prob needed Florida to win.
But began by saying he thought Zogby would win the election.
IMHO, he doesn't know who is going to win, but decided to call the election for Kerry because he doesn't like Bush.
I now agree with all the FReepers who say Zogby is overrated as a poller and biased.
By far. I think his stock market is coasting in low return investment neutral so he has little else to talk about. He perceives Zogby as a sober realist, whereas Zogby is more of a smooth radio voice.
A final "push-poll" expert analysis by Zogby after a weekend of polling democrats!
John Zogby was lousy in 2002 - No credibility, weird polling methods and adjustments and out of the mix again.
I only missed the SD race which I knew was fixed for dems but to myself I was hoping for a win for our party for Senate
Zogby needs to be laughed out of the biz when Kerry loses; Zogby is an "ME-Christian" like John Kerry-Kohn is an "Irish-Cathholic.
Zogby's brother is a radical Muslim and John Zogby is cloaking his true (just admitted "registered democrat but non-partisan") bias.
"I have no horse in the race!"
WOULD PEOPLE PLEASE STOP THIS URBAN LEGEND ABOUT THE UNDECIDEDS BREAKING FOR THE CHALLENGER?!!!!!!
ONE MORE TIME EVERYBODY--TRADITIONALLY, THE UNDECIDEDS BREAK FOR THE CHALLENGER IS CONGRESSIONAL RACES NOT PRESIDENTIAL RACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE UNDECIDEDS HAVE ONLY BROKEN FOR THE CHALLENGER THREE TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE MODERN PRESIDENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SAY IT HERE????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George Will said the much same thing last week on Hannity.
This race will depend on turnout. The interesting thing is everybody realizes it. Who will be more energized to go to the polls on Tuesday? Three more days and we find out.
I've heard about that call. But didn't Brinker also put out a "sell" signal at the very top of the bull market in 1999 or 2000, and then a "buy" signal at the bottom, last year? Those two calls were extraordinary. I don't know of anybody else who called the overall market so accurately.
Sounds like Zogby is starting to hedge and say it's so close..that way if it's within 1-2 points he can still maintain that he was close...in the ballgame.
By the way it strikes me as insanity that anyone would think a guy who clearly wants nothing to do with this war would be the right one to lead it...Zogby's contention there seems well..bogusy.
