Actually Zogby does spin this.....

This poll is the first poll to ask the question - using neutral language - whether likely voters prefer the House bill (enforcement-only) or Senate (guest-worker) plan.
snip
Although previous polls showed that more Americans may support a guest-worker plan, the wording of such polls proved at best questionable, at worst blatantly biased. Critics, however, have always been skeptical of previous polls,

If I read between the lines on these statements correctly what he just said is that this issue is sensitive to how the question is worded. Change the wording and you get a major change in how people respond.
I do not find this statement to be of great use for those pushing for open borders though. Like many I have strong doubts about the way the questions were worded in the polls they tout.

Most polls we've seen before suggest the choices are: 1. do nothing, 2. have an immediate round-up/deportation of all illegals. This CIS-commissioned poll offers reasonable choices. Mark Kirkorian, who heads the CIS (by the way, he is not some extremist but is a regular and respected commentator on the New Republic's on-line web site), advocates stopping the influx of illegals and letting attrition whittle down the illegal population. This is a safe, sane, and economical way to handle the problem. If you haven't, I suggest you inform yourself of the facts by reading his paper on this approach at http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back406.html

Failure to stop this invasion from Mexico makes a farce of our other national security efforts. For example, why spend billions on missile defense shields or on radiation detectors for US ports when the "back-door" to the US is wide open and un-monitored. I'm not surprised by Democrap pandering on this issue, but to have Bush and RINOs look the other is reprehensible.
