3. Zogby told the truth and other pollsters admitted GOP pressure
LAST EDITED ON Dec-08-02 AT 08:04 AM (ET)
In a forum on polling, shown on C-SPAN,, in October of 2000;
Zogby, of Zogby polling stated:
"We count every Republican response twice, in the belief that Republicans are more likely to be out working and earning a living." (thus less likely home to answer the phone)
Several other pollsters commented and agreed that "There was tremendous pressure to intrepret the margin of error in favor of some candidates."
(another added)
"That pressure came from the RNC."
Everyone else (all five) agreed that the pressure had come from the RNC.
{to skew the polls in favor of Rethuglicans}
Ed Harris of Harris Polls noted that his organization was begun by the RNC, specifically to produce polls that Republicans could believe.
I videotaped the C-SPAN forum, which was never repeated.
Normal C-SPAN procedure is to re-run programs several times over a month's time span.
