1. He blew it big time!
Zogby has an agenda, and likes to pose his questions to influence outcome, so I quit giving his polls much credence.

3. I agree, I think often times he posts what he wants to happen, not what the polls are saying.
How could he ignore so many absentee ballots, I'll never know. How he could underestimate female and latino turnout, I'll never know.

4. His polls were crap in 2004, not all that great in 2006.
Then this in California.

He's probably one of the most overrrated pollsters around.

But he called the 1996 presidential race really well....twelve years ago...

6. All the polls seem pretty dicey when it comes to the primaries.

7. You Take Your Time With A State Like California And You Don't Blow It By Twenty Three Points
He's either a corrupt or incompetent pollster...

8. Lots of polsters are screwing it up this year.
I think the race is just too fast-moving for them to get a grip on it, and they're over-extrapolating Obama momentum. (see New Hampshire)

9. All polls are meaningless when there is a LARGE EARLY VOTE
that cannot be even remembered by the day of election.

10. During the Presidential campaign, the polls will all be rigged to make the race look close.

So it'll be easier to flip another one.
