Zogby predicting a landslide for McCain

Pollster says election could end in landslide
Jill Terreri • Staff writer • September 25, 2008


What’s this?

The presidential election might be a tight race now, but one of the country’s top pollsters thinks the race will end in an electoral landslide.

John Zogby, president of Zogby International, told a group of businesspeople today that it’s up to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama to convince voters to go with him. If he’s not successful, the country will likely vote for “a comfortable old shoe”, that being Republican Sen. John McCain.

Despite the books Obama has written, Americans are still asking, “Who are you, where are you from?,” Zogby said.

Zogby spoke at the College at Brockport’s Business Briefings breakfast series at the college’s MetroCenter campus on St. Paul Street. He was promoting his new book, The Way We’ll Be: The Zogby Report of the Transformation of the American Dream.

1. ROFL!

Zogby...

[YEM]

2. He is consistantly wrong. Look at the last two elections.

His polls are horrid.

[msallied]

Is he REALLY this stupid?? Does he REALLY think he has any crediblity left??

Where is the "Gag me with a goddamn fork" emoticon?

[SuperTrouper]

8. LOL!! Use the PUKE button

:puke:

[msallied]

23. I will have to use several to truly express my disgust.

[Vincardog]

3. I call BS we do not want “a comfortable War Monger”

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Is Zogby totally cut off from the real world?

Then again, he thought Kerry would win in a landslide in '04, so...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. He Also Picked Dean To Win The Nomination In 04 Before A Vote Was Cast

In his defense that wasn't the worst call a person could make; at the time...

[BrklynLiberal]

5. I read that headline and assumed it was meant as a landslide for Obama, and was going to warn about

getting to cocky and complacent. This MUST be a joke.

[TheCoxwain]

6. It will be a landslide .. But in Favor of Barrack Obama.

[Alhena]

7. Right- Marist has Obama by 5% with his supporters much firmer than McCain's

[GrizzlyMan]

9. Zogby is crazier than a shithouse rat

His polls are shit. His theories are shit. He is shit on a Townhouse cracker.

[Eyes_wide_ open]

41. no wonder he likes McInsane and the Batshit Crazy Lady

peas in a pod and all that.

[WeDidIt]

10. So, does he base this assertion on his "interactive poll"?

:rofl:

[Eurobabe]

11. Thanks for your concern

I smell a pizza coming.

[scheming daemons]

12. Welcome to DU! (and LOL and your first OP!)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. The Ironic Thing Is That The Poster Thinks He Scored A Coup

Like we're supposed to be scared by some half assed pollster making a half baked prediction...

[icanthelpit]

44. Or you can bury your head in the sand

and post only "good" polls and predictions and ignore all others.

Earth to sketptics, polls can and are easily skewed. Pollsters can spin results anyway they want.

Of course those claiming that Zogby is trying to damage Obama because of his good relationship with the Clintons can think that. But I doubt he is trying to sabotage Obama so Hillary can run in 2012.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. What planet are you from?

Zo(m)by made it his raison d'etre to torpedo Hillary's campaign with his bogus polls that suggested she couldn't win a nat'l election...

Save your lectures for the < 100 I Q set like Sarah Palin...

[MattBaggins]

54. Try full baked and full assed....nt

[Godhumor]

13. As a SUNY Brockport grad, I wince at this

Does Zogby really believe one month will turn deep blue states pink? Because, frankly, there is no hope for a landslide on McCain's side (I'm beginning to think there is hope for one for the good guys, though.).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. This Nation Is So Polarized

Just having a R or D after your name is probably going to get a candidate to 200 E C Voutes unless he or she is certifiably insane...

[Eyes_wide_ open]

43. how fortunate for us

that both gramps and musilini are certifiable

[Rebellious Republican]

14. The fix is in.

There is no way no how that a legitimate election would have that out come. The Neocon Corporate Fascists are prepping us for another fixed election.

:argh:

[melody]

15. He predicted a "comfortable Kerry win" last time

I feel more secure than ever about Obama's victory now.

[GOPNotForMe]

19. Exactly my thinking!

I still remember those damn exit polls that gave me a very false sense of hope in 2004. Zogby = incompetent.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

53. He Released His Final Poll (After) People Started Voting And Still Was Wrong

~

[Danger Mouse]

16. You son of a bitch Zogby...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Some Random Points

1) You joined DU to tell us that...

2) When do I get my "you were right" posts for calling out Zo(m)by as a charlatan and being crucified by some here for making that cogent observation?

3) Zo(m)by's an ass hat; whether he was pimpin polls for Rush Limbaugh or trying to fix the polls to make it look like Kerry would win...

4)This nation is so polarized; just having a D or R after your name is going to get you a nice share of pop and E C votes...

[Eyes_wide_ open]

45. Ooops wrong place

sorry

[AzDar]

18. Skinner should've added a 'Douchus Maximus' button....

:rofl:

[qanda]

20. Maybe he's using reverse psychology

Because that's the only thing that would explain that craziness.

[DemzRock]

21. This is insane, a joke, or a setup for theft...

But as you all have said, zogby has little credibility left.

[WI_DEM]

22. how have you managed to stay for 10 days?

[AndyA]

24. Zogby, you know that diarrhea you've been having?

You thought it was from something you ate?

It was obviously you crapping your brains out.

No way in hell is this going to be a landslide for John "the fundamentals of the economy are sound" McSame. No f*cking way!

[Fleshdancer]

25. I don't recall taking one Zogby poll that asks me if I think I know enough about Obama

what the hell is he talking about??

[Politics_Guy25]

27. Welcome to DU!!!!!!!

Enjoy your stay.

[mzmolly]

29. He also predicted Kerry would win. McCain isn't a "comfortable old shoe"

he's an old smelly shoe with gaping holes and stones inside.

[pirate_satellite]

57. Get Seinfeld

Maybe Jerry Seinfeld can be enlisted to help sell McCain to the American public as a "comfortable old shoe" now that Microsoft has let him go.

(But Seinfeld's a Democrat!)
(Yes, but he also used a Mac on television. Nothing's sacred, get with the program.)

[mzmolly]

59. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[RoadRage]

31. Great.. i'll put this next to his NH perdiction.. asshat.

[Lex]

32. Obama is 2 pts up in NC today

so ummm, WHUT?

[DefenseLawyer]

33. He isn't even talking about polling data.

Looks to me like he is just making the brilliant observation that if "Obama is not successful" then McCain will win. Really? Thanks for posting this worthless tripe.

[Lex]

37. You know, that's right.

What an idiot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. "if "Obama is not successful" then McCain will win"

That's a tautology...

If we go out in the rain we will all get wet...

[Ellipsis]

34. I smell a rat

I smell a rat. It has that distinctive and all-too-familiar odor of the species Republicanus floridius. We got a nasty bite from this pest four years ago and never quite recovered. Symptoms of a long-term infection are becoming distressingly apparent.

[cali]

36. lol. now you freepers are loving you some Zogby?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

[Eyes_wide_ open]

47. LOL Get real ... you're not even trying sweetie

[mokawanis]

[high density]

49. that's good, he said Kerry was going to win in '04

I am glad though that I can give threads like this "red" now.

[azmouse]

50. If you believe that, I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you...

:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

51. If Obama doesn't win...McCain will!! Brilliant insight.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[samuraiguppy]

55. bookmarked.

[Arugula Latte]

56. Funny stuff! Thanks for the laugh!

I have a feeling YOU won't be laughing, though, on November 5th.

[Arkana]

58. Zogby also thought Kerry would win in a landslide last cycle

He's lost all credibility as a pollster.
