John Zogby on W&W: Consider Polling Data in Proper Context
Does anybody really believe polling data anymore? They should, when the results are understood in the right context, says the master of polling, John Zogby, who joins the Wilshire & Washington co-hosts today. Zogby, author of “The Way We’ll Be” and President of Zogby International, drops in to deconstruct polling numbers we’ll see in the [...]
Politico: Will Exit Polls Be Accurate?
David Paul Kuhn on concerns that data sampling will be skewed by early voting and overzealous BO supporters: “The exit polls are conducted by the National Election Pool (NEP), a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News formed in 2003.

[...]
McCain Camp: Beware of “Trap Door Questions”
Katie Couric’s questions were beach balls compared to the fight Sarah Palin is going to have Thursday with Joe Biden. I hope and pray that he doesn’t ease up on her just because she’s a newbie and a woman. After the gauntlet she threw down at the RNC, it’s hilarious to see the McCain camp [...]
