Thats Really Good, Really Good. Why is Zogby So Off, if this is so true?
Can't get the link to work. Could you please post some of the relevant results.
Thanks,

The Zogby polls he's referring to were the slew of online "interactive" polls Zogby released yesterday. They don't mean anything -- even Zogby doesn't suggest that they're scientifically accurate.
I don't know for sure what is up with Zogby, but he's been consistently way out for months now. A lot of folks have noticed that he's becoming an outlier. I've heard all kinds of theories: He's Arab, so he's letting his feelings on the war on terrorists bias him, his brother is a Dem strategist this election so this biases him - who knows. I've noticed that he USUALLY (though not always) seems to trend outlying to the left, such as when every other national poll had Bush up by 7-11% after the convention, and he had Bush up by 2%.
Who knows, maybe he just needs to hire better statisticians?
Zogby's polls aren't randomly selected scientific polls. They're email polls of self-selected participants.
