its.....A ZOGBY POLL!...

Zogby used to be the best pollster in the country, but he missed badly in the 2002 Elections, and his personal political beliefs have finally started to intrude into his polling data. Zogby has always been a Democrat and a Liberal, but for his entire career, he had maintained a level of objectivity rarely seen of people in his position. For that, he had my respect and admiration. But all of that changed on 9/11. You have to understand that Zogby is a strong supporter, because of his ethnic heritage and statements he has made, of Arab Muslims. Since 9/11, his once vaunted objectivity has gone out the window and has been replaced by an irrational hatred of the Bush administration who he views as anti-Muslim because of the War on Terror and Bush's ongoing support of the Sharon government. This explains why the always reliable polling data was AWFUL in the 2002 Elections...he's now finally become a partisan.

Angus,

That's because the conservatives at Newsmax are still clinging to the days in the 1980's and 1990's when Zogby consistently forecast Republican support at a higher level than Gallup, CBS and the other pollsters...and Zogby was almost always right in those days. There was no major secret why Zogby was so much more accurate...he was the first guy to really nail down the concept of the "likely voter" rather than the "registered voter"

Republicans vote more consistently than Democrats...otherwise we'd be in REAL trouble.
