Why moan about Gallup poll while IGNORING great Zogby & Newsweek polls?

[blm]

I find it odd that so many of those who post doom and gloom over the Gallup poll, failed to post on threads showing that Kerry had definite leads over Bush.

I should think that anyone who was SO concerned with polls that they lose their head over Gallup and declare doom for Dems in November (even suggesting we give up or turn our energy elsewhere) would have at least acknowledged the positive aspects of the polls showing Kerry ahead.

Anyone else see the disconnect there?

1. Doomed! DOOMED!!!

:nuke:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. True. Gallup is the most biased poll. Fox polls don't show Bushler...

with so much strength!

Ignore Gallup!

:puke:

[Dookus]

3. Easy enough to understand

people who are still upset that their guy didn't win will point out ANYTHING that shows Kerry to be a poor choice. It's their way of saying "neener-neener, told ya so" even though THEIR guy would be doing MUCH worse right now.

Sore losers, is all it is.

9. I'd say that's true of some, but....

others seem to be disingenuous in their concern.

4. The reaction of the DU doomsday'ers

bother me much more than the polls themselves.

12. The plants have been out in full force

[FreakinDJ]

5. Very short sighted

There is still time

We need to work against Bushies positive numbers

[blm]

7. Yup. But some are suggesting we give up.

Gee....I wonder why ANY Dem would offer that kind of advice?

[leesa]

14. Exactly. These guys come around every time trying to plant the idiotic

notion that Bush is unbeatable. Sheer nonsense. Probably the same guys the GOP paid to "riot" in Florida. Pure melodrama for the faint of heart.

13. Last week Kerry up by 9 points in a major poll

FOX even had Kerry up by 1 - Woodward comes out and destroys junior, now junior is ahead. I don't get it. But I do know lots of, more than usual doomdayer's are out.

[PA-DEM]

6. Exactly

And dont forget Kerry is also leading in the last ARG poll, the last battleground poll and today's Rasmussen poll.

[blm]

8. oops...forgot those polls.

Thanks and now we can remind the doomers that FOUR polls have Kerry ahead, yet they have posted only about the ONE Gallup poll.

Odd, eh?

[Zorra]

10. Oh no! I already drank the hemlock....

Freepers had me totally convinced that we were DOOMED!

[neverforget]

11. We like to bitch?

:shrug:

[Moloch]

15. even Rasmussen

the right wing hack has Kerry leading... It won't be long until nobody listens to Gallup with their poll results contrasting all others..

16. The fact is

These polls are all virtually the same when you take in the margin or error, especially when you deflate those that seem overly generous to Nadar.

Polls at this time don't mean much. Alot of stuff will happen over the next 7 months that we can't predict.

You can only make yourself nuts lerching from poll to poll.

[Oddman]

17. No one should even look at a damn poll until after the DNC

and even then take it all with a BIG grain of salt. Polls are incredibly unreliable and events can change from day to day. I don't care what they show - Kerry up by ten points or bush up by four points. Right now they are pointless . . .

18. And Zoggby had the 2000 elections right, trending Gore n/t

[notbush]

19. Nobody should care about polls until Sept 30th.

Polls are a snapshot, and this year with the war and the economy nothing matters until Labor Day....
But then again...polls never matter until labor day.
Just ask former pres. Dole.......

20. Wish Zogby was hooked up to a media outlet --

so his polls got wider play.
