Zogby America phone poll says Bush up 3, w or w/o Nader

[Sam Spade]

Some more weekend polling.  Results are Bush 47, Kerry 44 head to head, Bush 46, Kerry 43, Nader 1.4, Badnarik 1.2, Petrouka 0.1, with all those other parties included.

These results compare similarly with results done a week ago, showing Bush up 2 in head to head and up 4 in the three-way.

I think Zogby is doing what he did at the conventions, release his poll before everyone else's so that he gets the top line first.   Concurrently with that, I believe a number of national polls will be released this week.

In the post-convention polls, this meant his polls weren't really post-convention polls, but no one cared about this.

Who knows what these polls are?  I take them with a certain bit of credibility because they are Zogby national polls and they have a good record in Presidential races, but if he continues his record since the 2000 election in this election, he deserves to be as maligned as Rasmussen.
