It's a dark, sad day in the US. It's the quiet before the civil war. I'm up for a fight! :) Heck, Gallup was off by 13% in their last poll before the 2000 elections and they're still alive. Zogby was within his margin of error on the national poll.

"Which just renders his interview by Bobble a totally worthless waste of air-time." On the contrary, when a national polling organization is that far off, it's important for radio listeners to know about it. Look at the way the stock market reacted to the misleading Florida exit polls. That alone shows the problems with excessive public confidence in polling services. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I think Brinker has ended up doing his radio listeners a great service.
