"Clinton trails top 2008 Republicans"/"Hillary beats all Republicans"

53 friends across this country we have in our little group and of the 53 only 5 received this polling questionnaire. I did not receive one. Now this is strange, but if one looks at some of the questions in the earlier polling by zogby I can see how they could have sent out the email by withholding many that had already named HRC as their candidate.

Yesterday two polling firms -- Zogby and Gallup -- released surveys of the presidential race that offered strikingly different conclusions. The Zogby poll found that Hillary is trailing five leading GOP candidates in general election matchups. The Gallup Poll, by contrast, found that Hillary, and to a lesser degree Obama, has a slight to sizable lead over the top GOP contenders.


A couple of other things that distinguish these two polls: The Zogby one is an online poll, a notoriously unreliable method, while the Gallup one is a telephone poll. And, as Charles Franklin of Pollster.com observed yesterday, the Zogby poll is completely out of sync with multiple other national polls finding Hillary with a lead over the GOP candidates. The Zogby poll actually found that Mike Huckabee is leading Hillary in a national matchup. The Gallup findings were in line with most other surveys.
