To: GeeMoney
Zogby is pro-Muslim. His brother James Zogby is president of the Arab American Institute. He has always cooked the numbers for the Democrat, but it got worse after 9/11.

I imagine he was trying to look credible, and has decided this was the time to make the propaganda move. Or was instructed to by Obama.


----------------------------------------

Poor Freepers--and last weekend they were so happy with Zogby and were SURE McCain would be leading at this point--because Palin "did such a good job on SNL!"

I'm beginning to enjoy going over there more and more...:)

1. I was wondering why they were placing their hopes on the back of an arab
:rofl:

Election time brings out the about silliest behavior you'll ever want to witness - on both sides!

2. On the contrary: Zogby's numbers are unreliable . . .
'cuz he's a PUTZ! (whose methodology is seriously deficient).

4. I love all this imaginary power Freepers think Obama has.
Why does he even need to run for President if he has all this evil power in the first place?

6. 'Cuz he's inconsistent--I've never seen a pollster whose numbers fluctuated so much.
Gallup's go up and down by 1s and 2s. Zogby's zig and zag by 4s and 5s.

But I guess he's convinced now that Obama's numbers are going to go up and stay up.

12. Polling at this point is bound to be all over the map, sure they pay these guys big money...
But this cycle does seem way more volatile than many others previous in spite of the 'scientific' methodology; which I'd be interested in seeing a run-script sample of just to check for response options and stuff

7. Ohhhh! Let's all weep for Zogby!
You know he's gonna have Obama @ +4 by next week this time and we'll be ready to string him up on the nearest flagpole! :rofl:

9. Side note: I never knew "Zogby" was an Arab name...
...is it an Arab name?

I have wondered in the past what nationality it lends itself too...

10. Last week, they clung to Gallup's LV (Traditional) which had Obama up by only 2 points.
Now that's gone to 7 points today, they're screwn!!!


:rofl:
