Read the questions and decide for yourself; are they or they not clearly "push poll" - type questions, clearly intended to influence us?
BTW, I'm a long-time member, but my regular screen-name would make it too easy for Zogby to figure out who I am. I've been participating in the Zogby on-line polls for a couple years now, and I'd like to continue to do so.

Zogby busted himself by using the bogus early exit polls as his "Final" poll numbers.

"The Vietnamese government has been working with American veterans groups to account for American MIAs from that confliict. More than 700 of the 1,800 American MIAs have been accounted for. Do you agree or disagree that Congress should thank veterans groups and the government of Vietnam for their efforts in recovering MIAs?"This question especially annoys me:
"Yes, Congress should thank veterans' groups;"
"NFW should Congress thank Viet Nam!"
How do you think Zogby would interpret a "Yes" answer here?
As an endorsement of Viet Nam, of course!

What's the "Percentage of Error" point spread for a polling company that has an agenda?

National Review did a great piece about Zogby's private polling about six months ago. His private polls are even worse than his political polls, if you can believe it. According to the NR article, they're really nothing more than thinly veiled position papers whose results are released so different groups can claim that "scientifically conducted polls say... whatever".
Zogby has 0 credibility.

Push poll? That's a "beat you up, toss you in the trunk and take you for a drive" poll.

I took that poll too. I don't think that this is a "push-poll;" Zogby clearly has been hired by clients, likely the Vietnam government, to test an approach for a PR & ad campaign.

Yes, it was obvious to me, too, that Zogby has a new client...the govt. of Viet Nam. I wondered how many
"yes" buttons were punched for the one about United and another Air Lines "now have direct flights to Viet Nam. Would you use this airlines?"
And WHERE are all these positive economic endorsments of Viet Nam by Ollie North et al. to be seen/heard? I sure missed them if they have been on TV!

I took the poll, too. I clicked "Refused" on the Vietnam questions. It was ridiculous, and I won't participate in the Zogby online polls again.

I participated, too. They asked over and over again, "Does this change your attitude toward Viet Nam?"
A PR job without a doubt.
