Zogby polls are unreliable and lean Democratic. In 2002, Zogby predicted that the Democrats would win the Congressional races.

The poll of 1,216 likely voters was taken Thursday through Saturday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. The final day of polling came after the debate but showed little change in the race.

So only one third of the sample was taken after the debate. Any bounce will probably take a few days to develop anyway, and in a tracking poll it takes even longer, since they hold onto the older numbers for a few days.

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad to see the poll is mostly from days before the most recent debate.

I hope there will still be a good post-debate bounce for Bush, due to his sharpened message.

The slight advantage for Kerry was well within the poll's margin of error

Theres a nice spinny stretch for you.

They already are. But don't 'worry' Zogby with it. Bush by 7-8% in NOV, with 320+ of the electoral vote. And by that time, Dan Rather and CBS STILL . . won't have figured out those memos, as they and Brokaw and Jennings are shown the door. Buh-bye.
