A piece in yesterday’s Philly Inquirer by Tim Kane exposes the absurd bias of the Zogby poll that propelled Murtha’s statements last week on CBS Face the Nation. Murtha was ranting about how more than 70% of the US troops in Iraq wanted to come home. But as the Kane piece shows, the Zogby’s work was the quintessential push poll: the questions were phrased to produce the answers Zogby wanted and they did. Nevermore shall a Zogby poll on any aspect of the war hold any credibility.
