Selection Changed While Taking Zogby Interactive Poll of 09/30/04 (DEBATE POLL)
Self | 10/03/04 | Heart of Georgia

Posted on 10/03/2004 8:27:14 AM PDT by Heart of Georgia

I just took the latest Zogby Interactive Poll. I know they're worthless, but...

Anyway, there were the basic questions of who did you vote for in 2000, how likely are you to vote this year, etc.

Then the question, "Did the first presidential debate affect the way you plan to vote in the election?", and several options, including:

I had planned to vote for Bush and still do; (and directly below that) I had planned to vote for Bush but no longer will.

After selecting that I will vote for Bush, I clicked in the margin area and noticed my selection was changed to the one that said "no longer will."

It then moved me quickly to the next page. (I know that I had not clicked the continue button because I was nowhere near the bottom of the page but sort of in the middle). But, it all happened so fast that, just to make sure I had not accidentally clicked the next line, I went back to see if it would change the selection with me clicking in the margin. The selection was still on "no longer will", so I clicked all over the page to see if it would change. It didn't, so I don't believe there was anything I did to change my selection. I then had to scroll to the bottom in order to click the continue button.

It does not surprise me that they would manipulate the polls, and this is just one more "clever" way of doing that.

The polls will be used as evidence in the law suit after the Bush landslide to try and show that the elections were set up. ;

May be my computer, but it goes by too fast to tell what it is. A flying critter of some sort?

2 of my answers disappeared and it zipped to the bottom of the page. At the time I was looking at my cat and thought that maybe she or I had touched the keyboard. Maybe we didn't. I went back up the page and it accepted my answers for Bush.

That's odd how it happened that way with you. Basically, "it zipped" is how I would describe what happened in my case also. Happened very quickly.

I went back up the page and it accepted my answers for Bush.

It also allowed me to change to my original answer. Although I clicked back a couple of times to make sure.

I hope they don't. But being the manipulating whiners they are they are, you're probably right.

It didn't change my answers, it erased them. It was really odd. I kept checking again also. :-)

Hope is a word all to prevalent these days in politics.

A word that shouldn't even be in the "political" vocabulary.

Yes, Zogby and Harris were the closest in 2000. But only Zogby's LAST poll is a good one. He makes his last poll up and manipulates for what he thinks will happen.
