A new poll by Zogby shows Democratic Representative Harold Ford, Jr. is catching up with his Republican opponents in the Tennessee Senate race.  Ford is tied with Former Congressman Ed Bryant 42%-42%, and is trailing Former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker by 4 points 46%-42%, he trails 2002 Gubernatorial nominee Van Hilleary by 2 points 43%-41%.

Has Zogby ever been even close to being right?

Why does it say Rasmussen in the headline if it is really Zogby? Tongue


Because your friendly neighborhood moderator had not yet gotten around to fixing it!  --Tredrick

Zogby has been one of the most erratic of major national po0llsters.

Occasionally Zogby has been accurate, often far off the mark.

Zogby has had particular problems with Tennessee (I don't know why).

In 2004 he several times had Kerry in the lead in Tennessee (the only pollster to make that absurd assertion).

I wish Ford were catching up, but alas, this is Zogby.

That was a bad sample in his Internet polls.  I don't know if Zogby actually did phone polls in Tennessee in 2004.

Zogby's phone polls should be taken with a grain of salt, but they aren't the total horse crap that his Interactive polls are.

Alright can we get a non-Zogby one now to see if this is even close to correct.

Didn't Zogby have Kerry winning the election by 9% at one point?

May Mr. Zogby quote you on that?

Haha - not until the Washington Post realises what a stupid contract they signed.

It's a zogby poll. Ford is probably down by eight points or so in reality.
