ZOGBY POLL RESULTS MUST ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER:


Zogby uses a 4-category Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor schemata vs the traditional 2-category approve/disapprove schemata:

Zogby includes Excellent and Good responses only in his summative 'approve' stat, even though he admits that at least 50% of those who answer 'Fair' would also indicate that they APPROVE of the President's job performance. For this reason, Zogby's APPROVAL ratings are always 6-10 points BELOW traditional approve/disapprove surveys like the ABCNews/WashingtonPost completed during the SAME time period!

ABCNEWS/WASHINGTONPOST:
1/15-18/04
58% approve / 39% disapprove (+19)
[93% approval from Republicans]

Thanks. Those are the numbers I recall.

What is so damned infuriating is that he reports it as a positive/negative question even though he didn't ask it that way and it's difficult to find the actual splits.
