You're not seriously going to bring a Zogby online survey to me, are you?  These are the "polls" -- I, of course, use the term loosely -- that show statistically significant differences from his own telephone polls.  This is the poll that showed Obama's approval rating at 50/50 in March of 2009, when everybody else had him in the high-60s with disapprovals in the 10s and 20s.

The least reliable poll of 2008.  For good reason.

Do you know anything about polling?  I'm assuming not.

Compare with a real poll by Gallup.  You'll note most Americans are either satisfied with current immigration levels or would support more.

For purposes of re-education (since I have some background in how to do this): Note the absence of politically-loaded questions designed to lead the respondent to an answer -- answers the wingnuts who commissioned this abortion of a survey wanted -- in Gallup's survey, the use of random sampling, rotated questions, phone calls rather than a database of people who go out of their way to participate.

You know, all things professional pollsters use when their checks aren't being cut by Newsmax and pseudo-academics.

You might as well be posting one of those moronic web polls that cable channels take.  But at least those don't claim to be scientific.

Next.
