I this a push poll?
Zogby's latest poll includes these questions;

If you knew Barack Obama supported a plan to place a 75% excise tax on the sale of firearms - where a $500 rifle would now cost $875 with tax, would that have made you...

More likely to vote for Obama
Less likely to vote for Obama
No difference
Not sure
If you knew about Barack Obama's support for national legislation that would overturn concealed carry handgun laws in 40 states, would that have made you...

If you knew about Barack Obama's support for Congressional legislation that would overturn abortion restrictions, such as parental notification, gender selection abortions and requiring doctors to have local hospital certificates when performing abortions, would that have made you..?
If you knew Barack Obama supports repealing legislation that currently prevents non-government organizations, which receive federal funding, from providing abortions in other nations, such as China where coercive abortions are performed based on the gender of the fetus, would that make you...

If you knew about Barack Obama's support for a tax plan that would raise the top tax rate on individuals to 56% when social security taxes are included, would that have made you...

If you knew about Barack Obama's support for a tax plan that would increase the percentage of people who pay no taxes from 32% to 44%, would that have made

Barack Obama said during a campaign stop that redistribution of wealth, taxing wealthier Americans in order to give money back to low-income Americans, was good for everybody. Do you agree or disagree with Obama when it comes to redistribution of wealth?

Barack Obama has said that while the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms, it also permits common-sense gun control, like gun registration, licensing and local gun bans. Others say the Second Amendment does not permit infringements such as gun registration, licensing etc. Do you agree or disagree that Second Amendment permits infringements such as those described by Obama?

Do you agree with Barack Obama's interpretation of the Second Amendment, where gun control is permissible, or do you think the Second Amendment is an absolute individual right that shall not be infringed?

Do you agree with Barack Obama's interpretation of the Second Amendment, where gun control is permissible, or do you think the Second Amendment is an absolute individual right that shall not be infringed?

Should Congress pass a law to make a gun owner or manufacturer guilty of a criminal offense if their gun is lost or stolen and used in the commission of a crime, would you support or oppose a constitutional amendment to protect gun owners and manufacturers against such liability?

Should Congress approve or defeat a law that increases the percentage of Americans who pay no taxes from 32% to 44%?

Would you say you are very concerned, somewhat concerned, somewhat unconcerned or not at all concerned that President Obama and a Democratic Congress will make a serious effort to restrict the purchase and use of firearms, or does it make no difference to you?

If you knew about Barack Obama's opposition to a Constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, would it have made you...

For the last 21 years there has been no political censorship on radio. Some people now would like to limit programming on talk radio. Do you believe that Americans should be able to listen to any program they would like, or do you believe government should be allowed to censor radio programs?

4. If you knew Obama would take all your money & force you to eat dead babies...
would that make you... More likely to vote for him or Less likely to vote for him?

"A recent Zogby poll shows support for Obama's proposed policy changes is softening..."

Reason I asked is that there are a few Radio folks on teh left that think Zog is ok and wouldn't do this. I'd like them to see this. I was screaming about it through the year.

FYI - follow the link from Kos to Zog. It's no longer works on Zog! Interesting eh?

My point through out the year has been - Why would anyone believe that the Reich has control of MSM and believe that they somehow FORGOT to get control of the Polls.

11. Someone should really drag zogby out in the open on this one. It is an outrage
and a disgrace that he would even be classified as a legitimate poll taker after this

13. just in case you didn't see it
I sent this email to zogby

I just want you to know that I find your latest push poll so offensive that I will be removing myself from your polling list. I do not trust a pollster that uses such language to sway it's respondents. You can also be assured that I plan to publicly expose Zogby and it's polling tactics.
