Is participation in the poll by invitation only, or do the participants self select?

[truth_seeker]

“Is participation in the poll by invitation only, or do the participants self select?”

They are asked if they would participate, and then once opted in they periodically issue questionnaire styloe polls.

Several demographic questions are asked each time: age, location, gender, party registration, how you last voted, how you would vote today.

As I said, they worked for years to refine the method. I see no reason why it couldn’t be just as accurate as phone calls.

Many people no longer use land lines. And many people don’t use the internet.

To correct for such things, they need to compare different methods, and learn how to make adjustments.

They all make adjustments, including Rassmussen.

When they all give the same result, it validates the trend.

The next President in 2012 will either be Hillary Clinton...

...and pray tell, how is that any better?!?

That's merely exchanging one Marxist Socialist for another!

As Dennis Miller says, “She’s in his melon.”

[top 2 toe red]

Please Lord...NO!

Just one hell for another hell!

[Yardstick]

Yeah, I agree it’s several cuts above the typical internet poll. I still don’t see it as being as credible as the traditional polls. I do agree it’s more evidence of a trend, though.

Nice - he’s heading into the crapper ...

Yeah, what is wee weed??????

A little marijuana?

I didn't say it was better. I am merely interpreting my “visions” Before I started attempting to get my wife pregnant, I told her that we would have two boys, 2 years apart, both with blonde hair and blue eyes.
I was so confident in my prediction, I bet my leftist mother in law $1000.

I have 2 sons, 17 months apart, blonde hair blue eyes.

I don't which woman it will be, I can only make out that the next President has boobs. When I can tell whether or not they are pretty and perky or old and floppy we will know who the next President will be.

Push the "right wing extremist" button again?

Remember these? Maybe it's time for me to dust mine off, and start asking waitresses to fill it up.

He says different things to different groups of people and each group is catching on to his duplicity.

I am sure that he is shocked--SHOCKED, I tell you--that his tried and true campaign tactic that worked for two years is suddenly failing him.

The trance is wearing off.

[ApplegateRanch]

Captain Bligh had a cat-o-nine, and a mutinous crew;

Captain Queeg had steel balls and strawberry ice cream;

Captain Morton had a potted palm tree, and Mister Roberts.

[PhilDragoo]

Nice.

To take part in an interactive poll you must have previously registered with the pollster, in this case Zogby. Then when a poll is ready to be voted on, an email is sent to the registered individual along with a link to the site where the questions can be answered.

This makes it very difficult to freep.

[hoosiermama]

There is another freeper who has dreams......She see BO resigning in the fall.

[ExSoldier]

I was one of the folks Zogby sent polls to in 2002 and I stayed with the service until he simply quit sending me poll links to complete in 2004. IIRC I was dropped just prior to the series on the Bush / Kerry debate cycles. I guess he thought I was too reliably "conservative" to be a reliable pollster for him.

[Fresh Wind]

Axleshaft will compensate by sending $ millions more to his former PR company.
