[Laura PourMeADrink]

FWIW

[WeDidIt]

1. HE hand his number over to Drudge hours before he releases them

Drudge adn Zogby got it goin' on with each other.

[krawhitham]

2. still 5

and national polls mean NOTHING

he is pulling away in state polls

[rcrush]

3. Meh

[Elle1993]

4. oooo

I'm so scared.

[jenmito]

10. You've captured his "air claws."

:D

[carnie_sf]

5. F*** zogby

he's a repuke asshat f***tard

[AzNick]

9. Always add 3% to Obama with the Zogby poll

Which gives a result consistant with the other polls.

[Sodan]

16. Maybe.. registrered Democrat though

His brother:

James J. Zogby, President, Arab American Institute:

There are two significant reasons why I am working to elect Barack Obama President of the U.S.

17. He very clearly has cooked his stats to favor the GOP

I don't care what his "party affiliation" is.

And what is it with people and their obsession with Arabs?

[Sodan]

30. huh?

You don't think people should discuss his polls because he is an Arab?

Welcome to ignore.

Bye bye.

[melody]

34. Sadly, I just cleaned out my ignore list which is why you've appeared LOL

And you're going back to it where all the wee creatures of the forest are.

[last1standing]

29. So is Zell Miller.

And Colin Powell's son is working on the mcRacist campaign. Neither argument really washes.

I'll take the anti-Obama push-poll Zogby released as confirmation that he is not an impartial pollster this cycle.

[jenmito]

6. But Obama's number have gone UP .5, stopping his drop in the polls...

and McCain will go up 1. FWIW

[Dinger]

7. You Got That Right!

It's zogby, and nothing more. In other words, not derived from ACTUAL people.

[renie408]

8. What IS it worth? n/t

[fujiyama]

11. Zogby has no credibility left

His own commentary reveals what a hack he is. It's sensationalist bullshit.

Now, I fully expect this thing to tighten and be within five points on election day, but I'll wait for every other poll to confirm what's happening.

[jenmito]

12. And Zogby claims McCain's winning the Jewish vote.

Which is BS. FWIW.

[MadBadger]

18. Zogby does? Gallup has Obama with 74% of the Jewish vote.

[jenmito]

19. It was on C-Span yesterday morning. "Jewish vote-McCain-48%, Obama-46%

which is BULL. EVERY Dem. gets the majority of Dems. At one point, Obama "only" got about 60% of their vote, but now it's up to 74%, probably due to "The Great Schlep" by Sarah Silverman. :)

[Drunken Irishman]

13. Why didn't you post that Obama actually gained?

He will be at 49.9, an increase of just a little less than a point. McCain gained more, but it shows that Obama probably polled better Sunday than McCain.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Please Explain To Me How Obama Polled Better On Sunday

When you round off it's 50-45...

And rounding to the tenth when there is a MOE of 3% seems silly...

[jenmito]

23. He went from 49.4 to 49.9. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Z(o)mby Is A Charlatan

I should kick myself for not ignoring him...

[Drunken Irishman]

24. Simple...

The last three days, Obama was losing support. Yes it all could have been in the MOE, but if Obama polled 49-46 like he did Saturday, his lead would have continued to slip and he wouldn't have gained. But since he stabilized and actually inched up a bit, it shows he polled better Sunday than he did Saturday.

Now I don't know Zogby's Friday numbers, but it was reported Obama poll 49-46 yesterday. If he again polled 49-46, which is only a three point margin, on Sunday, his numbers would drop. However, since his lead remained five points, it indicates he had a better polling day on Sunday than he did Saturday.

Look at it this way, now this is just an example and probably off.

If Obama was polling 50-45 Friday night, then polled 49-46 Saturday (as Zogby reported) and then again polled only 49-46, Monday's results (which put Obama at 49.9 to 45.1) would be 49.3-45.6, or almost exactly like Zogby's results from a single days polling on Saturday. That would put the race at 49-46 (rounded), since it's a rolling average. If he polled worse on Sunday than he did on Saturday, Obama would probably have dropped even more.

But Zogby's numbers show Obama at 50 and McCain at 45, indicating Obama probably polled better than the 49-46 he was polling yesterday.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Thanks...It Makes Sense Now

How much do you want to bet Z(o)mby doesn't release his one day poling results because it's in conflict with his "tightening race narrative"?

[Drunken Irishman]

32. I hope he does, but I doubt he will.

He'll talk this up as McCain still gaining, which he did, but it looks like Obama probably polled 51-44 or something like that Sunday.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. When will be show McCain winning CA?

[melody]

15. I recommend phrigndumbass' post as an antidote to Zogby's mad science

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Yep. That is an excellent post...

[rocktivity]

21. It's only ONE poll--who died and left Zogby in charge all of a sudden?

Don't you see that they're trying to tighten the poll before the end of the week to put next Tuesday within stealing range?

:headbang:

[progressivebydesign]

26. Zogby is a hack. Does push polls for Nesmax, and specialized in polls where u sign up online.

He's been staggeringly wrong on everything since he emerged on the scene a scant 5 years ago...

[HughMoran]

27. Nothing personal

...but I'm hiding all Zogby threads from this point on. He's lost all credibility IMO with his wildly fluctuating poll numbers and bizzare internals. He's an attention whore and nothing more.

[writes3000]

38. I'm hiding them as well. And since certain posters obsess about them...

I may have to do more than that.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

31. 1. It's Zogby. 2. National Tracking Polls are not where it's at now.

[Thrill]

33. Its all about state Polls with a week to go

[Lord Helmet]

35. Zogby Schmogby

[Hippo_Tron]

36. Umm I think that's a statistically insignificant change

[dontforgetpoland]

37. Zogby polling is terrible. I don't care if it list Obama +20. It's so unrealible.

I even trust ARG more than Zogby polling. Reuters should take it name off their polling

[Danger Mouse]

39. Zogby can lick the blowhole of a dead humpback whale.

[bermudat]

40. Is this the same Zogby that said Kerry would win in 2004?

He is trying to make himself relevant.

[Drunken Irishman]

41. No it isn't the same poll.

Zogby state polls are trash, because they use internet surveys. However, his daily polling showed a tight race between Bush & Kerry. The only "landslide" was from his damn online state polls.
