weird numbers with Romney leading PV and Obama leading in Ohio and Virginia.

It could be true if Obama is not doing so well in his "safe" states and Romney doing better in his "safe" southern and western states.

Especially if Obama is only ahead by 15 or so in CA and in MA ...

[Eraserhead]

No!!!!!!!!! Make it stop!

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

NO MORE TRACKERS!!!!

[Niemeyerite]

The numbers seem to be about right. The pollster doesn't.

[ajb]

I'm worried that there isn't enough time left in the campaign for Zogby to show insane results.

[J. J.]

We needed some comic relief. 

[The Vorlon]

Zogby + Internet polling + Newsmax, all bundled together.

What more really needs to be said?

Don't worry! - Planet Z is not subject to the same laws of physics as other parts of the known Universe.

Plenty of time for crazy and insane results.

Zogby's polls can probably be thrown right in the trash.  Their final poll had Kerry winning Tennessee, Arkansas and Colarado while losing Ohio by six points. 

[Likely Voter]

In the past Zogby polls have been a joke. This season (mostly) they seem not too crazy, but you dont know if it is the broken clock effect or are they actually getting better.

wow, I thought that poll was a myth. But sure enough, it's on the RCP archives. Kerry leads by 1.9 in August 2004! Did they only poll Nashville?

I think Zogby was "ahead of his time" in trying to do online polls for elections as far back as 2004 when that methodology was still in its infancy and the online panels had all kinds of skews. Its now 2012 and the online panels are vastly better and more reliable - so i don't think there is any reason to believe Zogby is less reliable this year than anyone else doing online polls

[Lief 🗽]

Zogby was okay in 2008 wasn't it?

[Andrew1]

It's only day 2 and we're all over the place, Obama moving ahead in Florida, but taking a big drop in Virginia, nice work Zogby

[Skill and Chance]

I think you can see the effects of the hurricane on NOVA in their VA results from yesterday.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Zogby was on par with Gallup ... make of that what you will.

Sandy?

[Mr.Phips]

Zogby was okay in 2008 wasn't it?

All over the place in 2008. One day they would have Obama up 12, then he would fall to just being up four the next day.  

Their final national poll had Obama up 54%-43%.  

[The Vorlon]

Zogby's "fun and games" in 2004 with the fake polls based upon leaked exit poll results was such a black mark that he simply cannot ever been forgiven.

I don't care if it was 8 years ago or 108 years ago.  the man has no honour.

[dirks]

Is this all internet based polls? Zogby used to flood my inbox with this crap

and to all of my email accounts as well. I could've given 4 votes to romney if I actually cared to fill out his surveys. How is that the least bit accurate?

[Mehmentum]

If this was by a pollster with a better track record, this would be amazing evidence for the likelyhood of a ev/pv split.
