Interesting Zogby poll

Zogby has a mixed reputation, for good reason.

A large part of the problem (and sucess) of his polls is the use of new techniques in polling.

I suspect he is well in advance of most other pollers.


Zogby Poll: 48% of Voters Dissatisfied With Candidates 

Thursday, May 15, 2008 9:09 AM

Nearly half of likely voters — 48 percent — are not satisfied with the current candidates for president, with Republicans and conservative voters the most unhappy about their likely candidate choices in November, a new nationwide Zogby Interactive poll shows.

In what could spell bad news for the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, an overwhelming 86 percent of self-described “very conservative” voters said they are displeased with the current presidential candidates, and 65 percent of these voters said they are very unsatisfied.

The vast majority of conservatives (76 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current candidates, as did more than half of political independents (55 percent).

How satisfied are you with the current candidates for president?


Likely voters   Republicans    Democrats    Independents

                                 Satisfied

51 percent      24 percent     82 percent      44 percent

                             Not satisfied

48 percent      76 percent     18 percent      55 percent

Note: Some totals may not equal 100 percent due to rounding

In contrast, Democrats are overwhelmingly content with the overall field of candidates, with 82 percent who say they are satisfied. Self-described progressives (85 percent), liberals (86 percent) and moderates (63 percent) also express strong satisfaction with the current candidates. The interactive survey of 7,562 likely voters nationwide was conducted May 6-9, 2008, and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.1 percentage points.

Mc Cain can resolve this problem with a conservative VP.
