2008 That Poll Showing Hillary Losing to Any Republican?
posted by on November 27 at 9:54 AM
Total bullshit.
Yesterday two polling firms — Zogby and Gallup — released surveys of the presidential race that offered strikingly different conclusions. The Zogby poll found that Hillary is trailing five leading GOP candidates in general election matchups. The Gallup Poll, by contrast, found that Hillary, and to a lesser degree Obama, has a slight to sizable lead over the top GOP contenders.A couple of other things that distinguish these two polls: The Zogby one is an online poll, a notoriously unreliable method, while the Gallup one is a telephone poll. And, as Charles Franklin of Pollster.com observed yesterday, the Zogby poll is completely out of sync with multiple other national polls finding Hillary with a lead over the GOP candidates. The Zogby poll actually found that Mike Huckabee is leading Hillary in a national matchup. The Gallup findings were in line with most other surveys.
I don’t need to tell you which poll got all the media attention. Do I?
see? what a surprise.
they're all total bullshit.
Outliers get all the attention, even though they're the least informative.
Why does Zogby still have a job?
I can't believe how twisted and crass the media has become, how little they seem to care about truth. The Zogby pll was sensational, hence it was news. Was it true? Who gives a shit? Shameful.
Realclear has a good compilation of polls:

Why doesn't this politics thread have anything to with prostitution?
@7 - because then it would be all about GOP incumbents and candidates.
It's too bad. I used to like Zogby, but lately his polls have become woefully inaccurate.
This is precisely why I keep saying SLOGs repeated monthly straw polls are a waste of time. They tell you nothing whatsoever of any significance. Your last one was obviously stuffed at the last hour with a flurry of Edwards fanatics.

+1 with this article's coverage.
