Wishful Polling (John Zogby - King of FAKE Pollsters & an Exposed Leftist Fraud)

Public Opinion: Polling, they say, is part science and part art. If so, the art part that some polling organizations are practicing is getting blacker by the day.

Take Zogby International. The last time we visited the "highly regarded, nonpartisan polling company," as its clients refer to it, was early July. While the rest of us were celebrating the nation's 229th birthday, Zogby was doing its patriotic part by releasing a poll on how many Americans think President Bush should be impeached.

Never mind that few outside the rabid left were even entertaining the "i" word. Zogby apparently felt it was time they started. Seems that President John Zogby felt President Bush "did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq."

What Zogby found June 27-29 was that 42% of Americans supported impeachment and 50% did not. The result was significant enough, Zogby said, that he intended to follow up.

Sure enough, he was back in the field Oct. 29 through Nov. 2. But instead of simply asking people if they supported impeachment or not, as was the case in the first poll, he tossed in a hypothetical:

"If the president did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment." Agree or disagree? (53% agreed this time and 42% disagreed.)

The operative word, of course, is "if." As in: "If so-and-so is still beating his wife, do you agree that somebody ought to do something about it?"

I signed up to participate in his online polls. Once you indicate that you are a conservative, then you are asked questions such as how many times a week do you shop at Wal-mart, does your trailer home have wheels, do you read books, do you drink coffee at Starbucks, etc. Just kidding...but the Wal-mart question and others just as stupid are asked if you mark yourself as a conservative. BTW I did not participate in this last poll (out of town) but try to when I have time...maybe more conservatives should sign up to offset some of the dems...someone suggested that a couple of years ago and that's when I joined.

Islam is what happened. His brother is involved heavily in Arab legal issues, and he shelters similar leanings, although he tries to hide it because he needs an aura of objectivity for his polling business.

Remember, pollsters are whores who will troll for anyone with some bucks wanting a poll, and if necessary, a polling outcome. If you pay him enough, Zogby will design a poll that asks:

"Doesn't it drive you crazy that Hillary Clinton says "ya know" in every sentence and sounds just like a Valley Girl and shouldn't that disqualify her from the Presidency?"

Well said, you're right.
