Yeah, what Zogby ignores in this artice, is the trend. Electoral votes are accelerating in Bush's direction. Until the trend stops, the headline should be "States trending towards Bush".
Exactly. Same with me.
I find it interesting that even Zogby shows a steady move to Bush confirming the other polls.
Federal Review - Bush 321, Kerry 217
Rasmussen - Bush 213, Kerry 204
Real Clear Politics (RPC Average)- Bush 49.2, Kerry 43.5
Could you just puke?
Kerry up by 6 in Arkansas? Hell, neither Kerry nor Bush is advertising in Arkansas. It's a solid Bush state.
"President Bush continued his long, hard slog"
He's quoting Rummy on Iraq. This was one of the quotes the MSM used to try to paint the war as a quagmire. I mean, how many people use the phrase "long, hard slog"? As I recall, much a do was made about the phrase when Rummy used it. It had fallen out of vogue until then.
Zogby just told us more about the motivation behind his polling than he intended to (as if FReepers don't already know).
i stopped replying to him because it is obvious
w2004
ciao
Good catch. That is Rummy speak.
Here's what I'd like to know: I WAS POLLED via telephone by Zogby on Friday. These don't appear to be the results of that poll...I believe it was the "America" poll; but they asked many questions about preference for President, etc. I know the "America" poll is subscription, but you would think they would release the sample results on the Pres. election, wouldn't you?
If anyone is interested, I have some GREAT stories about my polling experience...some comments made the person on the other end of the phone about the opposition, for example.
Oh, Whatever.
I've noticed the MSM hasn't been refering to this guy with the frequency they used to. When even the Old Media avoids results said to be favorable to Kerry, you have trouble.
Zogby's in danger of destroying his credibility completely. If he keeps this up, a good poll released at the end isn't going to save him anymore than CBS' non apology has worked.
of course COURAGE is going to pay attention to Zogby... and any poll that has Bush down, in a dead heat or losing... that's what COURAGE does... and that Churchillbuffer person, too...
...and a Democrat to boot! Guess where his allegiance is to!
He is just playing his 2000, 3rd place election guess as a badge of "unimpeachable source" (to quote Dan Blather) of unbiased polling source.
Therefore credible enough to be used by MSM to influence the masses/plebiscite, about the way this presidential election outcome should be!
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE"
Also, do not forget, we are the stupid party.
It's not even a real poll. It's Zogby Interactive. Self-selected. Pure junk.
I thought Zogby was a pollster, not an editorialist. What's with all the opinion?
Here's how it works. Zog-me Instant Messages the DNC and the DU to get out the vote at his website the day before he does interactive poll. It's all about giving the MSM a poll that they can report as HUGE BREAKING NEWS: LURCH ON A COMEBACK!!!
Crissy Matthews was doing backflips at Harris's Interactive poll on Hardball and the Next day I thought he was close to tears when Gaullup and CBS/NYT polls came out.
It's all about perception and with that Zog-me aint nuthin but a DU opperative trying to rally the truth.
The Whole country knows W is up by at least 5 or 6 and he is gaining in democrat stompin ground. ie.. NY,NJ,WI,IA,OR,NM,MN...
...so they say, but how about "real" stupids, the narrow minded ones who vote with their feet?...the disenfranchised ones?
