If it’s monday O is up. Since Oct this has been the pattern. Each week except 1 , this has been the case. So what. What is the value of a weekend poll?
I guess Zogby gets thrown in there with Gallup and Pew in the “all credibility lost while pimping for the Messiah” crowd......
That's how the 1980 election was. The GOP crushed the Dems and took back the senate, but every race was called “very close” by the press.
When Jon Engler won in Michigan, the press acted stunned. They expect to win all the time because of their massive propaganda apparatus.
I'm not saying McCain will win, but the press was reporting double digit Clinton leads against both Bush one and Dole.
What happened to McCain by 1 point on Friday?
This from the same pollster that had Kerry up by 9 in VA the morning of the election in 2004......
Don’t forget... They have to make the market sad and cry... That way the Economy tanks just in time for Tuesday. ;-)
Just remember that Zogby said that Kerry was going to get 315 electoral votes in 2004. That was his final call.
This fool needs to be put in a rubber room with babbling Dan Ratherbiased.
At least the Soviet people understood that Pravda was pure propaganda.
Zogby methodology: Eeny meeny miny mo, catch a tiger by the toe, if it hollers let it go, eeny meeny miny MO!
(FReep this Digg!!!) ZOGBY: MCCAIN MOVES INTO LEAD 48-47 IN ONE DAY POLLING Digg ^ | October 31, 2008
Until Zogby explains, I have no more time for them. Zogby caused a real ruckus all over, Drudge, Hannity, we were all made to look like fools for running after Zogby's loose talk.
Zogby will probably be the only pollster with a final prediction Tuesday morning, which will be all over the airwaves as “the only Tuesday poll, and thus the most current one.” Nevermind that Zogby’s poll is roundly bashed by left and right as virtually worthless, it will get a lot of play, regardless.
Don’t expect any tightening in this poll just in time for Tuesday. Quite the opposite.
The math:
Zogby uses a 3-day rolling average. On Sunday morning they reported their 3-day averages as follows:
O+10, M+1, O+10. Sunday morning the poll showed 5.7%
So, that O+10 day from Friday drops off this poll, but Monday morning the poll is at 7.1%. That suggests the following numbers:
M+1, O+10, O+12 for their poll numbers from Friday through Sunday.
Their final poll Tuesday morning will see that one strong McCain day dropped off, so don’t be surprised to see this poll at double-digit numbers come tomorrow. It is “special sauce” Zogby, but most people will hear about this “final” poll on their way to work or watch it on CNN and Foxnews, which suggests massive movement towards Obama in the final days, when all it really is is one very good McCain day falling off.
They should stop all polling the last two weeks. You just cannot accurately predict this time of year with so many activities going on and people not home..
