ZOGBY: President Obama’s weekly report card (Oct. 8-14)
Washington Times ^ | 10/14/12 | By John Zogby - Special to The Washington Times

Posted on 10/14/2012 7:18:58 PM PDT by Jean S

Pollster John Zogby grades the president’s week and how its events affect his re-election chances.

Grade: C

“President Obama enters his second debate with Republican Mitt Romney on the defensive. Polls are showing a very close race and I have brand new polling numbers from this weekend showing Mr. Obama leading 47 percent to 44 percent; the race was tied at 45 percent apiece in the Washington Times/Zogby Poll just last week.

I find it hard to believe that voters are so fickle that some trumped up job numbers and the obnoxious blowhard Biden’s performance could bring about a 2-point swing in a week’s time.

No one believes Zogby, not even Mrs. Zogby.

This ‘Grade-C’ could be a nice segue for Romney to bring up O’s college transcripts

Good old Zogby. He's the only one who, using his Zogby Secret Sauce, could possibly make Obama GAIN after that Debate debacle.

He's so bad, I remember authoring this JUST FOR HIM back in 1999.

” - - - brand new polling numbers from this weekend showing Mr. Obama leading 47 percent - - - “

The 47 % are staying true to their Personal Federal Income Tax exempt status!

Romney was soooooooooooooooooooooo RIGHT!

That’s an affirmative action “C”; for anyone else it would be a solid F.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. D’Souza’s “2016, Obama’s America” is #1 in movies on Amazon.com. LOL!

Zogby, what a joke. Why does a conservative publication pay an ultra-leftist like Zogby to spew out garbage polls? I don’t get it.

Zogby also points out a weakness of Realclearpolitics. They seem to mindlessly feed in every garbage poll that is published.

"No one believes Zogby, not even Mrs. Zogby."

Clinton lover and diehard liberal, Zogby came out with a poll showing Bubba winning over Bush. It didn't account for the votes taken off by Ross Perot, but Clinton won and Zogby got great acclaim and instant stardom. He's never been close to getting anything right since, but he's still a media darling and must be making money as a result.

Precisely why this sort of biased polling is done. The whole idea is to produce a demographically skewed poll result knowing it will pull up the RCP average for their boy.

Have you noticed the top line number R vs O is almost totally at odds with the questions asked deeper into the poll? Romney leads in almost every area the people consider important such as the economy and jobs. He holds a double digit lead among Ind, not to mention Obama’s lost support among EVERY demographic group.

Zogby’s poll is an interactive Internet poll and is not known for it's accuracy.
