Do Americans Fail to Listen to a Variety of 'Arab Voices'?
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyCHARLOTTE, N.C. -- James Zogby, founder and president of the Washington, D.C.-based Arab American Institute (AAI), joked that he is "the son of a Lebanese merchant, and I've got a book and it's for sale." But in the rest of his speech to the World Affairs Council of Charlotte on Monday, he got serious about the message of that book. "Arab Voices: What They Are Saying to Us, and Why It Matters," based on polling by Zogby International (of which James' brother, John, is president), hopes to change "how we write about and talk about other parts of the world," he said. You "start with the hard ...
Poll: Michael Jackson Congressional Resolution Oppposed by 80 Percent of Americans
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyMichael Jackson was a talented entertainer, but he was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a global humanitarian. A Zogby poll shows that 80 percent of Americans are opposed to a congressional resolution honoring Jackson sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas). ...
Pollster: Prez Race Can Still Break Either Way
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyTempting fate, DailyKos and other bloggers leaning left have suggested Obama might win big on November 4. The word "landslide" has been bandied about. Of course, this isn't just wild-eyed optimism. Many polls show Obama with a growing lead. In survey after survey, on both the national and state levels, Obama is the one with the momentum. But one pollster ain't buying it. John Zogby insists this race is still too close to call. "I don't think Obama has closed the deal yet," he told the Boston Herald. Zogby's latest poll has Obama leading McCain 48-45 percent. The margin of error is about three ...
Poll Update: Bounce for McCain
By Dave - Politics DailyWith the results I've seen so far I'm confidently declaring McCain the winner of the VP and convention bounce events. On August 24th, on the eve of the Lieberman selection, Obama was holding a narrow but steady 2 point lead in the race according to RealClearPolitics. First came Obama's underwhelming choice of Joe Biden as his VP, and then we had the DNC convention which was clearly a success and resulted in a 5 point bounce for Obama by late last week. Obama's time in the news was extremely short lived as on Friday morning John McCain upended the contest as we thought we knew it and it hasn't ...
Poll: Two Thirds Dissatisfied with Journalism
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyAt a conference in New York this week a former executive at a major music label told hundreds of members of the music industry that "music 1.0 is dead." A new poll out suggests that perhaps journalism 1.0 is dead too. A Zogby poll released yesterday shows that two thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with journalism. Forty-eight percent of Americans said they get their news and information from the Internet. Last year that number was only forty percent. ...
What's Next for the Clinton Campaign?
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyI for one have been wondering why Hillary Clinton has been seemingly holding back against Barack Obama. The Clintons have a reputation for taking no prisoners in political contests. Coming off of ten straight primary losses, tightening up of the point spread for Texas and Ohio and a new Zogby poll giving Obama a 14-point lead nationally, we can't expect the senator from New York to go gentle into that good night, can we? Two new things that we've been seeing around the blogs and news sites tell us that definitely is not that case - Mrs. Clinton will go down fighting. There's some pretty good ...
Obama Tsunami Building? Poll Updates
By David Knowles - Politics DailyGone is Hillary Clinton's seemingly insurmountable national lead. Gone is the 20+ point advantage in California, where a few polls now show Obama with a slight edge. They're neck-and-neck in New Jersey and Missouri, both huge turnarounds. As Tommy Christopher noted yesterday, Obama is making huge in-roads with women voters. Still, these signs come to us from pollsters, and they've been way off this year because voters seem to be waiting until the very last minute to make up their minds. While Clinton will most certainly have a strong showing on Super Tuesday, and will win several states, there ...
Edwards Surging in SC; Hillary Returns
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJohn Edwards continues to grow his support in South Carolina on the heels of Monday's debate, placing Hillary Clinton in danger of a disastrous 3rd place finish in Saturday's Democratic Presidential Primary. Meanwhile, Clinton, who had seemed ready to concede the state to Barack Obama, leaving Bill Clinton to fight a rear-guard action while she concentrated on Super Tuesday states, has returned to South Carolina to try and ward off the Edwards threat. From Zogby:The real movement here is by John Edwards, who is the only one who continues to gain ground in our three-day tracking poll. His ...
Zogby: Edwards Ahead of Hillary in SC
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAlthough very preliminary, the latest polling data suggests that John Edwards' performance at Monday night's televised debate, coupled with the brass-knuckle politicking of the Hillary Clinton campaign, has Edwards in position to siphon voters away from Hillary in Saturday's Democratic Primary in South Carolina. While the Real Clear Politics average shows a small erosion for Barack Obama, Hillary's poll numbers have dipped to almost exactly the degree that Edwards' have risen. There could be several factors at play here, and it would be a mistake to dismiss the trend. What could this mean ...
Clinton Loses General Election
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWill this be the headline circling the globe next November? According to a new Zogby poll, if it the election was held today, and it was between Hillary Clinton and any of the five main GOP contenders, she'd lose. That's right. McCain, Romney, Giuliani, Thompson, and Huckabee would all beat her, if you buy the results of this national survey. So much for Clinton's electability argument. And what about the other Dems?Clinton's top Democratic rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards, still lead Republicans in hypothetical match-ups ahead of the November 4, 2008, presidential election, the survey by ...
