Zogby National Poll: Obama, Clinton tied in 2008 Democratic race

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Barack Obama has erased a once substantial deficit to climb into a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.....

Clinton, a former first lady who would be the first woman U.S. president, held a 21-point edge over Obama in October. He cut that to 8 points by last month, and the new survey gave her a 39 percent to 38 percent edge.

Her 1-point lead was well within the poll's margin of error of 4.7 percentage points.

Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, and Clinton were essentially deadlocked among a variety of groups, including men, women, Democrats and independents. Obama led substantially, 65 percent to 15 percent, among black voters.

the check because Zogby delivers (Discount on anti-Clinton results) and from last week on why he had obama to win n.h. by 13 points: Zogby: I ain't got a f-ing clue what happened

Who's going to win Iowa again?

Not by the same numbers, but they were all wrong in NH.

eom

The point is the promoting and bashing of pollsters based on the result that day.

Pollsters Are Deliberately Misleading Or Biased...

:shrug:

My point is it's misleading to cherry pick polls, nothing more and nothing less...


PEACE

Either way, history is made and the Dems win!

capitalizing on the "Obvious" The Dems could have had an Historical Landslide Victory for 16 years...there would have been absolutely NO WAY they ((RW))coulds win!!!!! Power in # would have been devistaing...The world would know we over came and we mean business on Healing All....

UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!!!!!

They mention only the top 3 runners from the democrat's but name ALL of the runners from the Repug's?

The national survey had Republican Rep. Ron Paul at 4 percent and California Rep. Duncan Hunter at less than 1 percent.

Raebrek!!!

1. there are descriptive surveys and poll methods from social science which can be extremely accurate about mapping beliefs, tastes and trends.

2. predictive surveys and polls are less accurate, because... well... humans arent newtonian objects.

But let's not be silly.

While predictive polls should not be taken too seriously, you can also see TRENDS when you take a lot of samples.

For example:

I wouldnt count any one snapshot as the "truth," but taken together you can start to see trends.



PS. Zogby tends to do very well, honestly...
