Zogby had Romney over McCain big too. He's incompetent.

1. SurveyUSA impressed the hell out of me last night
with their accuracy in certain races. Kinda still wonder why Zogby continues to hang his shingle and the MSM continues to turn to him for his "polls". He's been wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!

7. They Blew That One But They Nailed New Jersey, Massachusetts, And New York
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 10:51 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
Zo(m)by would have blown New Jersey too but he must have looked at what other polls were doing and changed his final numbers...

Oh, and Survey USA is transparent...They release their internals...Zo(m)by doesn't to the best of my knowledge...

6. Can it be agreed upon that opinion polls are not worth posting here?
They are a completely worthless tool, useful only for providing the media with talking points.
