"Zogby is the Dick Morris of polling"
I would rather hear the Toe-Sucker ramble on Fox for 10 minutes than even glance at another Zogby poll. Zogby is a fraud. Period.
The only poll out there that has any kind of valid statistical methodology backing it (+/-3 registered, but +/-6 GOP likely, on a small sample) is the CBSNews poll (and I won't link to it); that's how bad pre-primary polling traditionally is -- to have to cite CBS over Zogby. 2012 can't come too soon...
