Excerpt:
'According to John Zogby himself:
If we look at the three last Presidential elections, the spread was 34% Democrats, 34% Republicans and 33% Independents (in 1992 with Ross Perot in the race); 39% Democrats, 34% Republicans, and 27% Independents in 1996; and 39% Democrats, 35% Republicans and 26% Independents in 2000.
So the Democrats have been 39% of the voting populace in both 1996 and 2000, and the GOP has not been higher than 35% in either of those elections. Yet Gallup trumpets a poll that has consistently used a sample that shows a GOP bias of 40% amongst likely voters and 38% amongst registered voters, and depresses the Democratic portion of the sample down to levels they haven’t been at since a strong three-way race in 1992?'
