President Trump’s approval rating has edged up, driven by long-term confidence in his economy and boosted by the lackluster performances of the two dozen Democrats trying to beat him in the 2020 election, according to the latest Zogby Analytics poll. The contrarian survey, provided exclusively to Secrets, pushes back on some other recent polls showing a surge in Trump’s disapproval rating.

According to a new Zogby poll, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie leads other possible Republican presidential candidates and would beat President Obama in a hypothetical matchup. “Christie’s blunt talk about public employees and his aggressive actions on the New Jersey state budget have made him very popular both within the Republican Party and with independents,” said pollster John Zogby. “If he decided to run, Christie could quickly oust Romney as the favorite of establishment Republicans.” “Our results are not good news for Palin,” continued Zogby. “She isn’t winning independents, and despite her star power with conservatives, she is not their...

So what becomes of Messr. John Zogby, who, it is reported:Zogby actually went on Sean Hannity's radio show to make that call even as he slammed Coakley's campaign - as most others have. Yet John Zogby predicted a Coakley win, if only because of President Obama's last-minute efforts. Since this entire election seems to be more about Obama than Coakley or Brown, he cannot afford to have a Democrat lose - as the press keeps reminding viewers. So Zogby told Hannity that the Democrats will keep their 60th seat, by 'one point or less.' Is it not now fair to...

Historical behavioral data ignored in polling is criminal. This from a Criminal. Chumps we are in america to have the CEO himself, proclaim, admit, ....how about “taking the winds out of the sail.” by framing exactly what he is doing,....This is a smoke screen. Clearing his path for what might have turned out different should he not make this very proclamation of his “model.” I will explain, so that,...believe me...all of can understand. Ignoring psychographics and replacing the primary element for quantification with demographics is pure 100% MANipulation. The only way to most accurately measure the liklyhood of how people...
