| What is the most unbiased poll? |
|
Not which poll do we like the best, but which poll has been shown to be the most accurate with no bias one way or the other.

| 3. Zogby. I think it is because of their internet polls. |
|
I think that gives them a much larger sampling of people than they could possibly get with only phones.

I suppose it could be a bunch of people lying, but I don't when I complete their poll. And if you think a lot of people are just lying, what would stop that in a phone call?

| 8. Who signs up to do Zogby Interactive polls? |
|
Is it your everyday Joe Sixpack, or is it Mr Freeper and Madam DUer?
Its just not a representative sample of the American electorate.

I answer them right away and then I started getting them constantly. I know others who signed up, didnt answer one or two and then they dont send them anymore. As soon as I get it, I do it and I always answer honestly. Anyone can sign up at zogby.com :kick:

| 14. That's exactly my point |
|
Political junkies on both sides are the ones who sign up for these things and fill them out.
It is not a respresentative sample of the American electorate.

Zogby seems to be the most accurate Rasmussen may even be a random number generator with a zero point bias and IIRC they have ties to Fox News which taints anyhting they say. Gallup has polled on the high side for Repugs for the last few elections.

| 9. Gallup overshot both of Clinton's victories.. |
|
and was within MoE in 2000.
Rasmussen had Bush winning by 8 points in his final tracking poll in 2000.
