At the risk of repeating myself yet again, Zogby was wrong on President Bush's share of the votes in 2000. He was also wrong on the electoral votes. And has has been repeated again and again, two other pollsters had more accurate predictions than Zogby did.

Yes, I've granted that. Hence the reason in my previous post I inserted the text: "(Standard Disclaimer: CBS and Harris were closer)". Perhaps you missed that. What remains noticeably absent from your post is the fact that he was right on Gore's share. Indeed, you also conveniently left out the part where he performed well in 1996.

Plus Zogby has had an abysmal performance in his predictions since 2000, coming out not only wrong in his predictions in 2002 and 2003, but massively wrong.

Last I checked, those weren't presidential elections. You're talking apples and oranges here. Now maybe Zogby's lost his "touch" after 2000. I sure hope so, and in any event we'll find out soon enough. But I'm not about to totally discount his polls given the fact that he has a strong track record. That doesn't make me a democrat, it simply makes my opinion different than yours.

What kind of patient goes to a doctor who has done plastic surgery on his last 2 pals, and reduced them to living horrors? Someone like you and your ostrich pals from U, I think.

From what glimpses we can see of how these pollsters make their samples and where their presuppositions are, the poll numbers going up evenly for Bush and Kerry in the Zogby poll is quite a good sign. Splitting the undecideds evenly should bring that 2%+ victory that Bush may need, in the popular vote, in order to assure Florida a/o Ohio, plus another swing state or three.
