The latest Zogby International/Reuters poll today shows that Barack Obama has a sizable national lead over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race for president and would also beat Republican candidate John McCain in the general election. And to help Obama’s argument to be the party’s candidate, Clinton would lose to McCain 50 percent to 38 percent. Obama would beat McCain 47 percent to 40 percent, the poll found. Reuters/Zogby Poll

Polls are known as a snapshot in time. But some of the cameras taking the pictures before California's Super Tuesday presidential election certainly appeared to malfunction. Chief among them were the polls from Zogby International. On the Republican side, the final Zogby poll showed former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney with a growing lead and 40 percent of the vote, followed by Sen. John McCain at 33 percent. But once the votes started being tabulated Romney was actually substantially behind McCain, who appears on his way to nearly sweeping the state's 170 election delegates. Current balloting results show McCain with 42.1...

As a registered CT voter, I just took a phone poll for Zogby regarding the 2008 Senate race. Interestingly, to register any form of support for Lieberman, I kept having to *ask* where Lieberman was (apparently under 'other', not by party or name). If I didn't ask, I would have been forced into a choice between only the Republican and Democrat candidate. My guess is that most won't ask/won't know to ask, and the results will be as skewed as it sounds like they will.

Now the Zogby poll indicates that Harold Ford, the Democratic candidate to succeed Majority Leader Bill Frist (R) in Tennessee, is running a surprisingly strong race against his three possible Republican opponents. That could be the sixth seat. Zogby has Ford tied with former Rep. Ed Bryant, with each winning 42 percent of the vote, and trailing by a small margin, 43-41, against former Rep. Van Hilleary. A third possible candidate, Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker, leads Ford by 46-42. Ford, one of a new generation of African-American politicians with considerable appeal across party lines, has two defects as he runs...

Sorry for the vanity, but when I get polled by zogby I like to add my own special sauce to help him out. First, I voted for Kerry last election and I'm a black male. But I think the President is doing an outstanding job and I plan to vote for Al Gore in the primary & next election ;-) The funny thing is she listed a bunch of democrats asking if whom I'd vote for in the primary...she mispronounced a few of them and finally I had to correct her when she said Evan Bonn. Zogby is a joke...I...

In the face of rising gas prices, partisan sniping over Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, and a resumption of insurgent violence in Iraq, President Bush's job approval rating has slipped into a post-holiday funk, again dipping below 40%, a new telephone poll by Zogby International shows. His approval rating almost mirrors the percentage of respondents (40%) who said the nation overall is headed in the right direction. The deterioration in the President's numbers appears to be the result of eroding support among the investor class and others who supported him in his 2004 re-election bid, said Pollster John Zogby, President...

SAN FRANCISCO - Californians remain overwhelmingly in favor of abortion rights, and no matter how they feel on the issue they believe it's important for Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to have a similar position to their own, a new statewide poll found. According to a Field Poll released Tuesday, 68 percent of registered California voters polled said it was somewhat or very important that Roberts agreed with them on abortion. That was down from 84 percent when pollsters asked the question two years ago about a hypothetical "next person nominated" to the high court. Voters who want to change...

Cops want to question a Manhattan restaurant owner after getting numerous tips that he's the subway flasher caught in the act by camera phone, police sources said last night. Nearly two dozen people have phoned the Daily News and the NYPD to say they believe Dan Hoyt, co-owner of raw-food eateries called Quintessence, is the man whose photo appeared on the cover of Saturday's paper. Investigators contacted Hoyt by phone and asked him to come in for an interview, NYPD sources said. No arrests have been made. Hoyt did not return The News' calls, and his business partner and ex-wife,...

THE NEWS MEDIA IS TRYING TO GET PRO-KERRY POLLING DATA TO MAKE AN EARLY CALL FOR HIM IN ORDER TO DISCOURAGE GOP AFTER-HOURS VOTE... or so says Michael Medved, citing information the GOP has recently received. He then goes on to rip apart the Zogby electoral projection. He notes that Zogby admits calling some states he doesn't even have new polling data for. It's all smoke and mirrors. George Friedman, Medved's guest, says this is actually good for the GOP. He thinks that the greatest danger is that the GOP might become complacent. I don't know if I agree with...

ATLANTA - President Bush, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Johnny Isakson and a state constitutional ban on gay marriage all hold strong support among Georgia voters in the week before the election, according to the latest poll conducted this week for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV. Bush gained some ground over Democratic challenger John Kerry, leading the Massachusetts senator 52 percent to 42 percent in the last survey by the news organizations before Tuesday's election. The president had a lead of 51 percent to 41 percent in the previous AJC-WSB poll two weeks ago. Eight percent were undecided in that survey,...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry moved into a dead heat with President Bush four days before a cliffhanger White House election, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Friday. Bush and Kerry were tied at 47 percent in the latest three-day national tracking poll as the Massachusetts senator gained two points on Bush. Bush led Kerry 48-46 percent on Thursday. The deadlock sets up a frantic race to Tuesday's finish in another tight U.S. presidential election, with neither candidate able to establish a clear advantage or break 50 percent. "The election is four days away and we are...

Pollster John Zogby, in a telephone interview with me yesterday, predicted that John Kerry will win the election. "It's close," he said, "but in the last couple of days things have been trending toward Kerry - nationally and in the swing states. Between this and history, I think it will be Kerry." When Zogby talks, politicians listen. He made his bones in the Bill Clinton-Bob Dole election of 1996, when he came within one-tenth of a percentage point of the final tally. Bet me that when the Bushies read what Zogby told me, not just the rhetoric will rise, but...
