I stopped by the library here on the way to work to check something. My recollection was correct- the Zogby tracking polls in 2000 were definitely not these online polls. The local paper here, the Post-Gazette, was one of the five media outlets that together sponsored the tracking polls you quoted and they were traditional phone polls.

I was wrong about one thing- in my last post I said that 4 of the 11 you quoted were outside the MoE on at least one of the candidates. I thought I remembered his MoE as being 3 for those, but it was 4, so that means that only 3 of the 11 were outside the MoE, which is still three times the rate one would expect due to random variance (22 different measures, 1 in 20 should be outside MoE).
