Hmmmmm. Zogby got the result you wanted to hear, so he's a good guy. When he gives you results you don't want to hear, he's using "special sauce."

This place is a hoot.

This poll is highly influenced by how the questions were phrased.

We saw how the MSM asked the questions -- by giving false premises as facts.

Like Zogby or not, but you can read the question and see for yourself. He did give the true information to the people he polled.

Read the thread.

More than one (including myself) have noted what we think of Zogby. Clearly we're not ignoring the character he has defined for himself after the last election.

The main reason why this poll is interesting is that the question is remarkedly different from the questions asked by the MSM. I don't need Zogby to run a poll to alert me to the fact that different wording and genuine facts of the case will produce different results. It's a given. ABC, for example, ran a push poll to get the percentage they desired but were not honest about it.

The actual questions asked were posted for all the polls. Those against Terri referred to her as a brain dead woman being kept alive on life support. Zogby offered questions that gave the facts. That's why the poll results changed. A clock can be right twice a day, and this time, Zogby did the right thing, but did the right thing too late.

Few will dispute Zogby has an agenda and he tilts decidedly left. That said the argument is easily made that were Zogby to play it "straight", the results would have been even more in favor of letting this poor woman live. As they say, Leopards never change their spots.
