“As usual with FR, if what is being said is liked by the masses, they are the favorite pollster of the day. If not, it’s time to demonize!!”

It’s wise to “consider the source”, as the saying goes. It’s common knowledge that the media is trying to take down Trump anyway it can, including skewing polls.
As it gets closer to election day, some of them might not want to be a laughing stock and skew things the other way, then pronounce it as an “unexpected” swing.

Though Zogby isn’t alone on this take - in a surprise, the latest LA Times polling only has Clinton up by 1 point.

National Polls are entirely meaningless because:

A) in a country of 310+ million, polling 1,300 or so is a stupidly small sample

and

B) This completely ignores our electoral processes, much like the stupid Zogby poll that got everyone to love him (again).

The next time a Zogby poll doesn’t showing exactly what the members on this site want to see, whatever that is, it’ll go back to what it has been when Zogby is mentioned.
