John "Never mind my Massachusetts prediction" Zogby has BIG news: Obama would beat ... Dick Cheney

UTICA, New York - President Barack Obama would beat Republican Dick Cheney by a sizable margin in a hypothetical presidential match-up - but 35% of likely voters said they would choose the former Vice President over the current President (49%) and another 14% said they would pick someone else, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The Zogby Interactive survey of 1,963 likely voters nationwide found also President Barack Obama's job performance rating has increased slightly to 49% in the latest Zogby Interactive survey up slightly, from 47% at the end of December; 50% disapprove and 1% are not sure. The survey was conducted Jan. 15-18, 2010 and carries a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percentage points.

Zogby International President and CEO John Zogby: "Obama is near 50% and has a 14-point lead over Cheney. He holds his own among Democrats, liberals and African-Americans, and even though he shows weaknesses among political independents, he's still OK. There is some slippage in the president's support among 18- to 29-year-olds (52%-28%). It's still a healthy margin, but why are 20% of young voters saying they would choose someone else if the election were held today? Is there major disappointment here?"

Seriously, what do you even say to something like this?

This guy is such a naked partisan, has been staggeringly wrong in so many different recent elections, just made an incorrect call for his favored party, with certitude, on a race he hadn't even polled on ... and then releases a positive poll for Obama, testing him against a 70 year old RETIRED Republican who's said multiple times he's not interested.

Does it get any sadder than this?

He’s going to go from pollster hack to buffoon hack of the Al Sharpton ilk if he’s not careful.

In other news, Zogby reports that Bo Obama would positively kick Barney Bushes’ butt in a one-on-one dogfight.

Whatever Zogby predicts from his polling, I’m going opposite and betting it in Vegas.

Can make a serious fortune.

Someone purchased Zogby’s prediction ... turnout of angry voters needed to be suppressed in order for the feckless Chokely to win.

Nobody wants another Dick in the White house.

I wonder how the poll would change if they the same question but used the name Richard Bruce Cheney instead if Dick?

Zogby and his polls are now lower than whale shit on the bottom of the ocean. He got a reputation and then sold out.

Is it true that Zogby predicted, using his highly sophisticated technical equipment, that there was no way that the Jets could beat the Chargers in a National Football League playoff game this past Sunday? Thanks.

Just when I thought it was merely crazy, it got crazier.

Am I right in that I seem to remember that Zogby is an Iranian Democrat ? I read that somewhere, can’t remember where.

Guess I’m at a loss why this man would want to destroy his career and any credibility he had.

If that’s the best that the current POTUS can do against some guy who has never really been in the public eye, doesn’t go around giving “love me, do” speeches, and would never, in a million years, get a centerfold spread in Cosmo, then that current POTUS has problems of epic proportions.
