The methodology is simple. Build up the Republican that is most likely to lose if nominated for as long as possible. In the last few days before ballots are actually cast try to bring a little reality into the polls so that our reputation as pollsters can be salvaged.

Are you saying that polls are flawed from the start due to the “push-polling” that goes on with the questions pushing the poll “victim” into one direction?

We’ve all had polls like that, in which the “neutral party” on the line is asking questions like “If you knew that Joe Opponent burnt kittens in his fireplace, would you still be likely to vote for him?”

However, I am assuming that Zogby’s questions are more neutral and not “push polling.” Am I right?
