Zogby was caught big time today on a poll he did about gay marriage. His poll showed that 80% of muslims support gay marriage.

When he was challenged on this number he admitted that he polled a total of EIGHT muslims and SIX thought gay marriage was okay.

How in the world you conduct a poll that includes a total of eight people is beyond me......but it is an indication that Zogby will produce the results desired by the person paying for the poll.

Well, if it's good enough for Zogby, it's good enough for Justice Kennedy and the 4 dwarfs. More than enough evidence that the mores of America have changed and America needs the SCOTUS to lead us to the promised land by legislating from the bench.

I've always been suspicious of Zogby's polls. Mostly because of the way the questions are worded.

For example, all polls on Bush's approval rating ask "Approve/Disapprove". But Zogby asks for job approval based on "Excellent/Good" vs. "Fair/Poor". But he never quantifies "Fair" or determines if "Fair" means approval or disapproval.

This distorts his numbers when compared against straight "Approve/Disapprove" polls.
