President George W. Bush would still top 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry in a repeat of the 2004 presidential race (46%-42%), while support for third parties would climb to 7%, a new Zogby International poll reveals. The same poll finds that, given the chance to elect Bush to a third term, just 29% of likely voters say they would do so, while 58% would choose someone new. The telephone survey of 1010 likely voters was conducted from February 25 to 27, 2005, and has a margin of error of +/-3.2 percentage points.

The same survey found the President's job approval rating falling to 46% after hovering around 49% to 50% since the November election.

The same poll finds likely voters splitting on which party is best on a number of issues. The Democrats are seen as stronger on healthcare, the environment, jobs, foreign policy, and tolerance; the Republicans, meanwhile, are viewed as stronger on taxes, integrity, the war on terror, and traditional values.

Keep in mind, Zogby completely blew the 2004 election...

What Zogby tells me: Kerry wins

Friday, October 29th, 2004

Pollster John Zogby, in a telephone interview with me yesterday, predicted that John Kerry will win the election. "It's close," he said, "but in the last couple of days things have been trending toward Kerry - nationally and in the swing states. Between this and history, I think it will be Kerry."

Zogby!? I thought that after the 2002 and 2004 fiascos he suffered that he retired to open a betting parlor in the Bronx.

[Republican Wildcat]

Still polling for this race AFTER it is over? Give me a break.

[jwalsh07]

How would he possibly know? There were no exit polls to show what an incredibly dishonest pollster Zogby is.

From the afternoon of November 2, 2004.

John Zogby predicts a John Kerry win 311-213.

[kingattax]

yep...he is so irrelevant any more

[Sooth2222]

"he retired to open a betting parlor in the Bronx."

If he did, it musta gone bankrupt, so now he's back to polling.

[Soul Seeker]

Hey! Zogby finally predicted a Bush win! Months after the election but still. LOL

Republicans, meanwhile, are viewed as stronger on taxes, integrity, the war on terror, and traditional values.

There haven't been any particularly noteworthy scandals involving Democrats, and even when something looks like a scandal, the media makes it go away. So where is this coming from?

It must be that Democrats-in-general are developing a reputation for sleaze.

Some of it might be Kerry... some of it is undoubtedly Clinton... the Washington state Governor fiasco might be blowing back on them. But there has to be more to produce a poll result like this. Maybe the continual in-your-face lying about Iraq and other things, from the House and Senate Democratic leadership, is starting to take a toll. If so, good.

[CzarNicky]

Now I'm worried.

[TheGeezer]

He did, but he almost starved to death.

Zogby International conducted interviews of 1010 likely voters chosen at random nationwide. All calls were made from Zogby International headquarters in Utica, N.Y., from February 25 to 27, 2005. The margin of error is +/-3.2 percentage points. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender, to more accurately reflect the voting population. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.

Four Months Later, Bush Would Still Beat Kerry

Heck, give us each a baseball bat and we all will.

[stevem]

I think Zogby ought to conduct more relevant polls such as who was more popular a couple of thousand years ago, JC or Pontius Pilate.

[Deetes]

Anybody named zogby has about a 15 point margin of error .

[Graybeard58]

Zogby has zero credibility.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Shut up, Zogby.

It's over for you, pal. If you ever had a shred of credibility, it evaporated on Election Day when you bought into the AP exit polls, and predicted a Kerry rout.

Coming up with a poll now, showing President Bush would win again, is the lamest attempt at self-rehabilitation I've ever seen.

SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.

And one more thing, Zogby:

SHUT UP.

[Allegra]

OK, aside from Bush trouncing Kerry in 2004, the next best thing after the election was that we finally wouldn't have to read anymore polls.

So, now, after the election AND the inauguration, they're STILL doing polls?

And Zogby the Loser, no less?
