Exactly. Zogby has a solid track record; when he talks we all would do well to listen.

Just sent a private reply to somebody regarding that for fear of getting skewered, but what the heck, let me get skewered...folks...ZOGBY IS A GOOD POLLSTER. Which is why people pay a lot of money to get him to poll for them. Just because he's not giving you the numbers you want doesn't make him wrong or a whore for the Democrats. If anything, it would make him a "whore for the Republicans", because it would encourage more Pubs to get out and vote to counter his "foregone conclusion".

Of course, he can always screw up his track record this year around. :-)

The tightness of the election is evident in five key states where USA TODAY measured Senate races. Four of the five are well within the polls' error margins: In Missouri, Republican former congressman Jim Talent leads Sen. Jean Carnahan 48%-44%.

In Colorado, Republican Sen. Wayne Allard leads Democrat Tom Strickland 47%-45%.

In South Dakota, GOP congressman John Thune leads Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson 48%-45%.

In New Hampshire, Republican Rep. John Sununu leads Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen 46%-45%.

In Arkansas, Democrat Mark Pryor leads Republican Sen. Tim Hutchinson 51%-43%.

The state polls of 600 or more likely voters Wednesday-Saturday had error margins of +/- 4 points.

Zogby is a good pollster. Makes mistakes, but so does everyone else.

One has to take into account knock and drags, busing voters en masse and of course, fraud. Democrats are masters at these techniques and this will again prove the difference in many of these so-called "close" races, which, in my view, were decided when McAwful and Clinton figured out how to divy up the money, effort and time.

For instance, my family hasn't received a single call on behalf of a Democrook candidate here in Manhattan. Means the AFL-CIO, who handles the phone banking, has shifted efforts elsewhere.

Also, I see that fickle bunch loosely termed "Christian conservatives" are about to behave again like the Scottish nobles in Braveheart in some of these close Senate races, such as in NH and Arkansas.

This will be a darn near thing. Remember 1998 and the slogan of the Republicans "Americas Majority Party?"

Yeah, right.

Zogby must be a good pollster. Somehow he managed to incorporate nearly a million votes I suspect were cast illegally in the 2000 election.

Yep. We made that mistake back in 2000. As I suggested in my previous post, do a FR search for "Zogby Bush Gore" and read some of the early November 2000 threads. Everyone was gleefully proclaiming Zogby irrelevant because he predicted a dead even race.
