Did either of the Gorgons mention what station it was on?
I think its a fake as well.

Doubtful but if you say so, tell all the untruths you like.

Adding to my suspicion is that at least one person says the poll will be released tomorrow which makes me wonder how the website the OP references got the poll results today? That's like saying, "Tickets on sale tomorrow" while someone is standing there with tickets in hand. And if, for example, the OP's reference is 'special' and got early access to the information, I'd be inclined to think Zogby would retain all rights and prohibit the early release of poll data (it is, after all, their "bread and butter").

Terrific, any bets the numbers aren't skewed? Most large cities aren't exactly bastions of intelligence save the universities. Go to the standard ghetto dweller and you might be lucky to find a half dozen of them per block that can count to 6 using fingers and toes.

Totally agree.

I subscribe to Zogby's RSS feed, so I will know right away, if it comes out "tomorrow", as is claimed.

Well, yes. I can see how that would be your motto.

When faced with statistics that are distasteful to you, pretend they are not real and attack the poor.

Very classy.

Not attacking the poor at all, just looking at his numbers REALISTICALLY. In short, they don't hold up.
