I wish I had a nickel for every time I've refuted this claim. Almost every poll had the 2000 election as a very close race, especially after the DUI claim when undecideds broke for Gore.
We got a very close race. Zogby was not the only one who predicted that.
Indeed, I remember the topic of discussion on the local morning drive-time radio show the day before the 2000 election was the expectation that Gore was going to win the electoral college w/ Bush taking the popular vote.
