"The Zogby name, once respected, even pre-eminent, among pollsters, is now worthless."


Once respected?
I have never had any respect for that rabid piece of vermin.
He was lucky once in 2002.. BY MISTAKE.
Every broken down clock is right twice a day.
Zogby has always been synonymous with propaganda, lies, disinformation, viciousness, suport for Islamic extremism, arrogace and stupidity.
Nothing to respect in any of that.

"He was lucky once in 2002.. BY MISTAKE"

Should read:

"He was lucky once in 2000.. BY MISTAKE"

I first heard of Zogby somewhere around 1993-1994 when his record itself indicated he was the most accurate poller around. By that time his company had already been around quite some time, I believe. In those days he was a favorite on the right because he was calling our races accurately. Your understanding that he has always been "synonymous with propaganda etc." is incorrect. His swing to the left coincided with the rise in prominence of his company and, I would guess, with his decision to use that prominence to openly support Arab-American causes (he's Arab-American himself). In the beginning he did not operate as he's operating today.
