released today (internet polls)

Kerry by 11 in Oregon

Kerry by 2 in Tennessee (the Kerry machine continues to roll over Bush in the volunteer state)

Kerry leads in every battleground state except Ohio and W Virginia.  He has Bush up 8 in WV.

Told ya it would be entertaining....

But..but..what's mind boggling is that Zogby doesn't seem bothered by getting obviously absurd results.  When other polling firms continue to get results that contradict every indicator, they take a good, hard, look at their methodology and weighting.  Zogby just assumes that his results are the new norm.

If Zogby were to change his methodology we wouldn't know it as it's a secret.  I think I heard he uses a dart board.

Kerry UP 2 in WV and DOWN 8 in Tennessee would at least sound right.

20 of Zogby's last 45 polls going back to 2000 have be inaccurate by more that the MOE.

Maybe we should all chip in and buy Zogby some Lithium or something.

Then could we please stop treating him like a real pollster?

i.e. not included in poll averages. Zogby does nothing of any worth.

It was still never explained what event led Bush to lose 18 points in TN two polls back.  It must really have been local politics, because I sure havent heard why this was.  But give credit to Kerry, he has held on to the "lead".....................

You know what would be funny?  If Zogby turns out to be the only guy that's right.  Won't happen but would be funny.

Plus don't knock the guy, he's just trying to make a living like the rest of us.

I participate in Zogby polls and answer either Badnarik or None every time, so don't blame me.
