Zogby's methodology for gathering and counting data is not incorrect. However the questions asked are inherently biased toward getting a conditioned response. These questions were not developed for the purpose of an unbiased response. <br> <br> If Zogby's called 500 random Republicans and asked "What Presidential candidate claimed to have 'invented' the Internet?" Most Republicans would incorrectly attribute that to Al Gore. (As would Deomcrats)If they asked, "Is Obama a Socialist?", I would bet that a large number of Republicans would say yes. I am sure that they know he is a member of the Democrat Party not the Socialist Party, but the question wording would lead many to give an incorrect answer. I could easily use the data to indicate that the media is biased against Al Gore or that most Republicans don't even know what part Obama belongs to. <br> <br> There is a perfect example of this type of polling that came from the other side. When a large majority of people honestly answered that race matters in this election, the left immediately substituted "race" for "racism" and assumed that the poll was proof positive that the Bradley Effect was a serious issue in this election. <br> <br> No one has to convince me about the ignorance and general bias of the American voter. This poll and video, however, is simply not a good indicator.
