I have heard that his brother is the head of the American Arab Institute. I do not know if that makes Zogby biased. His polls seem to be very trusted on both sides; why, if his family is so un-neutral?

How would bias be hidden by a poll? How to bias your poll and yet after the election be the one who had the closest results? AND WHY ARE POLLS TAKEN SO SERIOUSLY, by basically everyone (FReepers included)?

Is there really only a tiny MOE (margin of error)?

Do we talk poll numbers all day and all night just to have SOMETHING to talk about?

Why should we believe polls?

If I am telling you the polls are bias I am also telling you I don't take them seriously. Zogby's polls aren't trusted because of the wide variance they have leading up to the actual casting of ballots. Zogby relies on his last poll to be the 1 his credibility is based on. If he takes a 101 polls and the 1st 100 are wrong we are all expected to remember the last 1.

Zogby predicts Kerry electoral landslide! by daninoah Tue Nov 02, 2004 at 02:23:55 PM PST He says that Kerry will will 311-213, but barely lose the popular vote. Kerry wins Ohio, Florida, and most of the other battlegrounds.

I am one of the folks Zogby polls in their online polls. They seem to accept my answers for the most part, but several times I have been in the midst of a poll and the answer I gave was NOT what they were wanting or expecting. I get shuffled aside into a generic questionnaire, and then I don’t get any polls for 3 weeks.

Zogby is biased, they just hide it well.
