Zogby hits the nail on the head when it comes to trends...not actual results. When focusing in on on Iowa during the caucuses he saw the rise of Kerry and Edwards in the two weeks before the caucus itself. He also was the first (well non subscription at least) pollster to show Missouri as swinging towards Kerry, a state most pollsters ignored until July, and also reported on a closer race than expected in Tennessee, something the traditional pollsters only just realised this month. If you want your trends, look at Zogby, if you want figures, look elsewhere. And as for Gallup, theres something a bit wrong with them. Oh and try the British newsmagazine, The Economist for its American YouGov poll, another good trendsetter, even if the percentages themselves are skewed.
