Zogby is so obviously weighting his results to the dems

Zogby is probably still using the old Dem 39% Rep 36% IND 25% formula that pollers have used for years. He hasn't adjusted for the fact that it is now a 39%-39% electorate.

In 2000 Rasmussen adjusted, but he adjusted too far (in addition to using a flawed autmatic polling method) -- I think his numbers were actualy in the 38%-36% range for Republicans.

How is LA a battleground state when the most recent poll there has Dubya up by 19%? Also, why are the Dems salivating over TN and VA? They are very unlikely to win either one. Too bad Commie Boy has to spend his time and money in MN, WI, MI, IL, NJ, NM, PA, OH, FL- hahaha.

Automated telephone polling in and of itself doesn't make the methodology flawed. SurveyUSA uses automated telephone polling and they've been one of the more reliable polling organizations of late. From what I understand, Rasmussen has conceded he used too tight a screening method in 2000. He has loosened it this year.
