BOYCOTT ZOGBY!!!!!!

All conservatives should refuse to particpate in Zogby polls's. This guys family is terrorist loving and Jihadist supporting.

His brother is head of the Arab American Institute, which supports terrorism.

His polls will be worthless if they don't include conservatives.

John's brother, James Zogby, appeared last night on The Factor with Bill O'Reilly.

To say I was repulsed by Mr. Zogby's comments would be a charitable understatement.

Looks like signing CFR was correct political call. That is the major change since last month.

BOYCOTT ZOGBY!!!!!!

What twaddle...

Zogby is known to have a "right" tilt to his polls and often has a better poll because of it. He started the policy of adding a small percentage of extra Republicans to each "random" poll to account for the fact that they tend not to pick up the phone as much.

As to the brother, you of course know that in the last election, the majority of Muslims voted for Bush. You also know that many times brothers hold different political views; as in the Bennetts.

Freepers, don't forget how far off Zogby with his special sauce was during the 2000 elections! Don't take any polling data coming from him seriously!

83.3% say Bush has performed excellently, good-to-excellent, or fair-to-good. So much for his numbers dropping shortly after 9/11.

Ummmm....

"All hail Zogby, the maverick predictor who beat us all," proclaimed the Washington Post in November 1996 after Zogby alone called that presidential election with pinpoint accuracy. In the recent razor-thin 2000 elections, daily national tracking polls conducted by Zogby International in the last few weeks foretold a tightening of the race for president while nearly all other polling firms projected an easy victory for Gov. George W. Bush. Zogby International instead was the first to observe the gap closing significantly between Bush and Vice-President Al Gore in the waning hours of the election. In his post election 2000 review, the acclaimed Godfrey Sperling, columnist for the Christian Science Monitor, called John Zogby "Champion Pollster."

"In 1996, John Zogby came within one-tenth of 1 percent of the presidential result - the best performance turned in by any of the pollsters. This year Mr. Zogby was the first pollster I heard being cited on TV as finding that Gore was pulling out slightly, by 2 percent, ahead of Mr. Bush. But when I talked to Zogby a few days ago, he was elated with how close he had come this year to predicting the final outcome - and rightly so."

Hey, Zogby was THE ONLY pollster to consistently get Florida right in 2000. He KNEW that black turnout would be HIGH in the Sunshine State.

Then, obviously, he was THE ONLY pollster to consistently get Florida wrong in 2000--because even liberal news (Wash. Post) recounts show that Bush won the Sunshine State

It's true that Zogby was well respected among Freepers at one time and even by Rush, but his predictions on Bush/Gore were way off. I can't search the archives or I would point you back to what I believe were his double didget lead predictions for Bush over Gore right up until the last minute. I don't remember Zog changing his tune to say that Gore was pulling ahead by two points, but if he did do that he did so only minutes before the election. Zogby and Portrait of America both had Bush way ahead of Gore right up until the end and probably caused many Republicans to have a false sense of security.

Sorry mean, I should have said that Zogby was the only pollster (unlike POA) which showed Florida would be close and to take into account high black turnout (you should have seen the lines in the black precincts of northern Miami-Dade County). He was wrong, however, in his last minute prediction of Gore ultimatly winning the state.

Zogby never showed the kind of Bush lead that POA and the Battleground surveys did.

Close enough.Poll results are considered successful if the results are not over the margin of error.That's why the vote is the most important poll,not statistical analysis.
