Zogby only called 1 election correctly in his entire history, and it is readily apparent that his 1 correct call was pure coincidence.

He's always been a tool of the far left. He's always associated with the far left. He's always lied. McBride was never ahead of Jeb in 2002, for instance. Virginia was never "too close to call" in 2004, either.

Zogby is not the worst pollster, however. Even as bad as Zogby polls, there are two other firms that poll worse.

But there are a dozen polling firms that are more accurate than Zogby year in and year out...leaving one to conclude that the only reason to hire Zogby is to have him tell you whatever it is that you want to hear.

He's a tool. You pay to have him validate whatever nonsense more reputable pollsters won't say for lack of data (or conflicting data).

I guess that makes him the Jeanne Dixon of pollsters. You only need to get a prediction right once and you can live off the fame the rest of your life, no matter how off the wall your other predictions are.

I hope this isn't the part where I'm supposed to argue with you. :-)
