Sorry guys, but I just don't trust these Zogby polls for much. He's had Kerry up the whole year and now Kerry edges 47%-43%. Once upon a time people took Zogby really seriously (after his 1996 call). But, after his faulty calls in countless state polls, I just can't give him that much credit. As an Arab, he's hopelessly biased in Kerry's favor.

That said, I was encouraged to see the President's job approval ratings up in his poll (Gallup shows the Prez up to a 51% job approval rating).

All these polls are so much bunk. All are subjective based on each polling organizations methods. I still think that they all have a hard time taking into account the new tech that is involved in making contact with the public. Cell phones are hard to poll. Caller ID and answering machines eliminate other potential polling subjects. Try as they might the poll takers cannot hope to get a true sample of any voting population. Also the number of R vs D vs I to include in a polling sample is all dependent on the who is doing the polling. The real key is the turnout and who will do the voting. The polls can try but can never really tell turnout. Let us all wait till Nov. 2 to see who will win . A lot can happen between now and then.
