Zogby: Votergate 2004
Votergate 2004; We Don't Need Paper to Prove Fraud, But We Do Need Money and Leadership, NOW.

~snip~

There's a huge difference between polling what WILL happen and polling something that has already happened. The reliability of polling something that has already happened is highly reliable vs. predictive polls, like Gallup or Zogby, which is very risky. The reliability can be, not plus or minus 4 percent as we see with predictive poplls, but rather a much more reliable plus or minus one half or one tenth of one percent with exit polls, because those are based on asking people who already voted. I would even say that if the exit polling were done in the key precincts of Florida and Ohio, which it was, then these results should be practically “bullet proof.”

4. Yes, that is what I thought.
Zogby would not have it there if he did not agree with it.

5. Headline a bit misleading..
It isn't Zogby writing that there may hve been fraud, but Sheldon Drobny, CPA and Venture Capitalist and co-founder of Air America Radio, who might not be considered by some as a purely objective party. (Look here) But, the piece does appear on the Zogby website, which is interesting in itself.

6. Well, well, well
Zogby was flummoxed by how badly off the mark his 2002 polls turned out to be. He issued apologies and went back to the woodshed to reexamine his methods.

Maybe he's not buying any of that crap this time around. Hope so...

7. Circulate far and wide
mail to all cable talking heads. Friends and foes. Zogby is considered the 'gold standard' in polling. Must read his webpage:
