Reuters Reports ATI-News Zogby Poll Results As Is

Oddest finds of the year. A September Zogby and ATI-News Poll was conducted and shows some interesting results, but within the body of the report is this:

O'Leary says that the poll was run to confirm the conclusions drawn in a
chapter from The Audacity of Deceit, dubbed Obama's "War on Success." The book
has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the Amazon.com rankings since its release
September 9...


Seriously, thinking folks, have we all gone batty? Someone writes a book that comes to a certain conclusion and later a poll is conducted of somebody and the conclusions already drawn are substantiated?

What were the conclusions? What are the footnotes to those conclusions?

Guess we have to all run out and fork over 15 bucks or 35 bucks to find out.

Meanwhile, the poll itself is suspicious for coming to a conclusion an author already predetermined was a conclusion and a fact before such a poll was conducted.

Again, have we all gone batty?

How do we get our news, people?

Somebody writes a press release including results of a poll and Reuters just prints it as is?

We're waiting for the day when somebody investigates how the ATI-News Zogby Poll was conducted and the geographic location of those polled...

In the meantime read in full this inquisitive find, like us we just want to know how any poll that proves what an author or client has already concluded previous to the poll CAN IN ANY WAY BE TRUSTED.

Pick a Number, Any Number

Have you noticed that pollster John Zogby seems to be getting little work these season? Ah, but that’s not true. Just because your numbers have been so miserable through the last two cycles that most of the big media organizations wouldn’t touch you with a ten foot robo-call, doesn’t mean you can’t find employment in the lucrative field of producing numbers on demand!

Suppose you need a poll to give you the numbers you want, but the American public stubbornly refuses to agree with you. Where can you turn? There’s just one man for the job.

A new Zogby poll commissioned by Joseph Farah, WorldNetDaily founder and author of the new book: “None of the Above: Why 2008 is the Year to Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote” indicates a large percentage are ready to throw in the towel rather than vote for either of the two candidates in Nov. 2008.

Here’s John Zogby proving that, in a year with the highest primary turnout in history, record registrations, and unmatched interest, Americans would rather “throw in the towel” than vote for either McCain or Obama — an answer that astoundingly agrees with the new book by conservative evangelical (and Rush Limbaugh co-author) Joseph Farah.

How about a poll showing that a majority of both Democrats and African-Americans disagree with Obama on affirmative action? Zogby produced one of those for ATI-News.

And just today, Zogby produced another poll showing

Fifty-two percent of voters think Obama’s tax plan would make them worse off, while only 36 percent think it would make them better off.

This poll was also for ATI-News. Who is ATI-News? It’s the vanity site of Bradley O’Leary, the author of an anti-Obama book who apparently has found that a washed up pollster and a fake news organization provides his press releases with a little panache.

Let this be a lesson to you, wingnut authors. If you really need to prove that the sky is green and America is a radically conservative nation, there’s one man who stands willing to deliver any numbers you want.

New ATI-News/Zogby Poll Shows Majority of American Voters Think Obama's Tax Plan... Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:32pm EDT

New ATI-News/Zogby Poll Shows Majority of American Voters Think Obama's Tax Plan Would Make Them Worse Off

As American Economy Struggles, Many Fear Obama's Tax Increases Would Only
Cause More Pain

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- A majority of likely voters believe
that Barack Obama's plan to raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy will
make them worse off, according to a breaking ATI-News/Zogby poll. Brad
O'Leary, president of ATI-News.com and author of the explosive new book, The
Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values, notes that Obama's
plan to raise taxes on the two main drivers of the American economy "could
cost him the election" and "is a loser with almost every key voter bloc."

The poll, which surveyed 1,008 likely voters nationwide and was conducted
September 11-13, 2008, has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.
O'Leary says that the poll was run to confirm the conclusions drawn in a
chapter from The Audacity of Deceit, dubbed Obama's "War on Success." The book
has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the Amazon.com rankings since its release
September 9.
ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: "Do you think that Barack Obama's plan
to increase taxes on businesses and the wealthy will make you better or worse
off?"
The results are astounding. Fifty-two percent of voters think Obama's tax
plan would make them worse off, while only 36 percent think it would make them
better off. A majority of Independents (52 percent) and women (51 percent) say
"worse off" as do 25 percent of Democrats, and 22 percent of self-described
Liberals. Surprisingly, 18 percent of Obama's own supporters said his tax plan
would make them worse off...
