Zogby Push Polling?

This will be brief. Yes, I know Zogby sucks. But news outlets still report their numbers as if they are reliable, so I signed up to take Zogby surveys in order to help shape the narrative.

Today, I got my first survey, and the questions are a bit peculiar:

Zogby's Polls

I too have been a long time Zogby poll participant and have begun to suspect that their survey methods biased.

The questions are loaded, i.e. the answer provided, answered by radio buttons, only describe a narrow set of anwsers, seemingly design to arrive at certain pre-selected view-points.

I have also found that certain types of results published by Zogby are derived from polls that I did participate in, making me suspect that they pre-select their sample populations to bias certain designed poll results.

I have emailed Mark Zogby about these issues several times, but have never received an answer.

Zogby totally compromised

Easterling

I still get polling emails from Zogby. I disregard them. ALL go directly to the trash bin. It has become increasingly apparent that Zogby is totally comprimised as a Scientific Method Pollster. Sort of like the, ahem, Ivy League staffed Think Tanks whose main job is to blanket the issue under discussion with complex obsfucations and whose main mission is parroting the answers that the people who pay them want to hear.
