I suscribe to Zogby's online poll and receive them periodically. Just finished the latest one a few minutes ago and thoughya'll might like to see that they have now included questions on the Swiftvets for the first time;

The group the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are running ads in some states questioning John Kerry's service in Vietnam. Have you actually seen the ads, just heard about the ads, or have you not seen nor heard about the ads?
Seen ads
Heard about ads
Not seen or heard
Not sure
Refused

Have the ads made you more likely to vote for George W. Bush for President, less likely to vote for George W. Bush, more likely to vote for John Kerry for President, less likely to vote for John Kerry, or have they made no difference?
More likely to vote for Bush
Less likely to vote for Bush
More likely to vote for Kerry
Less likely to vote for Kerry
No difference
Not sure

Lew,

That's interesting and the latest Zogby shows distressing news for Kerry amoung undecided voters. That said, I don't trust a Zobgy Poll as far as I can toss it anymore. Any subscribed, interactive poll is self-selecting and therefore worthless....and Zogby leans hard left at best.

Actually, I don't trust any polls. But, Zogby does ask party affiliation first and also zip codes. I assume so the answers can be properly categorized.

What I found interesting is that this is the first time since I've been a suscriber that they have included the Swiftvets.

Lew,

I am aware of this and Zogby is careful. Unfortunately, the self-selecting aspect of his polling makes his results suspect. That is why a lot of reputable political sites don't use Zogby polls any longer.

That said, it is interesting to say the least that Zogby now things we are important. One of Zogby's clients is the DNC (for those that didn't know). That is telling me that the DNC is finally taking us seriously.

I did that same one, tonight - I've been doing Zogby's poll for about three months, I think.

I was surprised to see the Swifts issue come up, can't wait to see the results on that one.
