Why do people keep showing up asking us to "DU" Zogby polls?

[CatWoman]

To me that's a sacrilege.

Zogby is consistently correct in his polling.

Why should we cheat in order to get the outcome WE want?

I'd rather have the truth, not someone's version of the truth.

1. I've participated in

a number of Zogby polls. They emailed me directly and asked to complete their survey.

[CatWoman]

2. So have I

but I've seen a couple threads urging people to create new identities in order to take the poll several times.

[Wapsie B]

7. I don't agree with that at all.

Let's keep at least one pollster's numbers as close to reality as possible. There's no sense in freeping Zogby.

12. I started a Zogby thread

and I never suggested ANYONE 'create a new identity', I only posted it for anyone who's never taken one, as this one is open to the public, NOT for people who've signed up for it.

16. "Thank you for the link"

I keep forgetting to take his polls.

[GingerSnaps]

13. "So have I "

I prefer to participate in them.

3. How on earth is that cheating?

We're all citizens too. Why shouldn't we at DU participate in such polls?

[CatWoman]

5. See response number 2.

[Seabiscuit]

14. I wasn't responding to Response Number 2

I was responding to the original message.

I agree DU'ers should not resort to using multiple e-mail identities. Just participate. Participation by DU'ers in that case can't be called "cheating".

[CatWoman]

18. I'm sorry -- I left those details out of the orignal message

[Seabiscuit]

20. I also haven't seen anyone encouraging cheating

Read the other thread about the Zogby poll. And read the original poster's followup to his original post clarifying he is NOT encouraging anyone to cheat.

[CatWoman]

21. I stand by what I have observed.

[Seabiscuit]

22. Then you should look again.

NO ONE on DU has encouraged "cheating" on the Zogby poll. It's either a figment of your imagination or a misinterpretation of what you read coupled with a failure to read far enough into the original thread on Zogby.

4. The only poll that matters

is on November 2nd. :)

[CatWoman]

6. Hi, Stevie

:hi:

[Gothmog]

8. Same here

I get regular e-mails from Zogby and promptly complete the survey.

[LisaL]

9. What do you mean by that?

How is that cheating?
Zogby is asking for your opinion, and you give it.
That is absolutely NOT cheating.

[CatWoman]

10. again, see post number 2.

[blondeatlast]

11. I don't DU polls at all anymore.

And I agree, something is odd about this.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

15. If Zogby can't figure out how to avoid this type of manipulation

the poll is worthless anyway.

[blondeatlast]

17. Well said. nt

[CatWoman]

19. well, duh

that's not very helpful.
