My bias with regard to Zogby is related to interviews I've seen him participate in since 09/11. Frankly I'll never see him in the same light again. I used to think he was a pretty good guy. His logic on the middle-east is quite twisted. I came away from my observations with a very negative impression of him.

Zogby has been accurate in the past. What surprises me this year are the following: Jeb Bush up by 15 in Florida; the doddering widder Carnahan up by 1 in Missouri; the "good" Ryan up by fraction in Illinois; Strickland up by 9 in Colorado; Kirk down by only 1 in Texas. I haven't seen numbers like these anywhere; he appears to be about five to seven percent too high or too low in each case compared to the other pollsters. I don't think Zogby cooks his polls; this is big business for him and his polling accuracy reputation is extremely important in getting new clients. Anyone have any ideas here?

Zogby is a hard core arab supporter.

Are you sure you are not thinking of his brother who heads an arab "anti-defamation" group. The only time I have seen the polster talk about the mideast was in reference to a poll he did on attitudes towards the US among middle class arabs in the mideast.

Is this John Zogby, the pollster, or his brother James, the pro-Arab Clinton-Gore suckup ?
