Has Zogby's methodology completely self destructed?

[CARLHAYDEN]

These are the results of Zogby's 2002 tracking polls + the 2004 South Dakota House race.

This is how Zogby has done over his last 14 polls.

Has the Zogby Methodological house of cards come tumbling down?

I think I made my comments about Zogby's unreliability and bias a few weeks ago.

He had some early good results primarily in New York,

Since 2000 he has become the cheerleader for the Democrats.

He's blown his credibility.

Wonder if he is getting funding from Soros, et al.?

There is an interesting phenomenon in polling.

Those who primarily poll for non-political get fired if their predictions are grossly wrong or they are overpriced.

Firms that provide private political polls don't get used much if they really blow it.

However, remember who pays for the polls (or at least the majority) of polls about politics you see on a daily basis.

As long as the poll produced tilts in the direction of the liberal media (that commissions those polls) they are very forgiving of the pollster and will use the firm again and again, even if it is inaccurate (just not extremely inaccurate) in the right (meaning left) direction.
