Zogby on CNBC: Kerry trending up Monday (Dean #2 / Edwards #3)

[TheWebHead]

John Zogby was on Special Report with Maria B and says Kerry looks poised for a high single digit victory over Dean, with Edwards in the #3 spot, though said there was still a lot of undecided voters.

1. funny that's not what his poll shows...

I'm inclined to belive the pollsters don't know what the hell they are doing half of the time.

[TheWebHead]

4. based on Mon polling

the 3% was Sunday...

8. Yes, that would be the half of the time

they talk about 'statistical dead heat' when their own 'numbers behind the numbers' showed Kerry ahead in IA and now way ahead in NH. Sometimes I wonder if some of these polling companies (especially Zogby) are in bed with the media and more interested in ratings than in the truth. A close race gives them that, even if one doesn't exist.

2. Nice

Because, IIRC, Zogby's was the one major poll that showed the race closing. Most polls show Kerry with a huge lead.

3. He's Disowning His Own Poll

If your account is true he's a charlatan, a rogue, a snake oil salesman...


ROTFLMFAO

5. Kerry should thank Zogby for that "narrowing poll number" thing!

By reporting the results of only one day of a 3 day tracking poll (200 people, with a 10% MOE), Kerry was able to become the underdog AGAIN... that's when the $ pours in and the voters become determined.

7. Zogby Is More Interested In Memes Than Legitimate Polling

As someone who has done post grad work in Poli Sci and has relied on polling it's distressing to see pollsters turn the field into a joke....

[HazMat]

9. Zogby is a joke

and I suspect he came out with that 'close' poll showing 'Dean closing in' simply to satisfy his media masters who want a close race for better ratings.

10. I wonder

11. His Devotees Will Tell You He Nailed The 00 Campaign

Well so did CBS, Harriss, and Newsweek...

And it was practically a statistical tie...I think Gore beat Simian Boy by .06%...

[cthrumatrix]

6. great....kerry is the runaway...no need for undecided's to go Kerry....

vote for Dean...

14. unless they want to quickly unite the party to beat Bush

[ACPS65]

12. Pro-Dean = Gospel

Anti-Dean = joke

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Is That Code?

NT

15. If Zogby's numbers are to be believed

then maybe Dean's negative misleading attacks about Kerry and Iraq over the past few days worked the same way they did in Iowa... turned the voters off Dean. Americans, Democrats are tired of bush telling lies, why would they buy what Dean's selling... bush lite?
