While it is good news, Zogby seems to be the only one including other candidates in the polls.

That is great news....69% want to see Bob Barr in the debates....that's a huge percentage even for an online poll.

The mainstream media will simply cite their "rules" in spite of public opinion. If we don't get the polling percentages (i.e. percentages for the
candidate
) that the news media people require, we will NOT get to be heard.
Zogby is an excellent polling agency. The biggest difference between Zogby and pretty much everyone else, is that Zogby doesn't bother with anything other than
likely
voter polls when they are doing election polling. Other folks do "registered" voter polls, which aren't nearly as accurate at predicting actual election outcomes. LOTS of registered voters will say they support McCain or Obama, but then not show up at the polls anyway. Nearly everyone who is politically active enough and passionate enough to support a candidate who supposedly "can't win" WILL go vote for them. Thus, Zogby's numbers for Barr and Nader are almost always higher than other polls.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not just hoping, I'm
praying
for the sake of our country that mainstream America actually gets to hear SOMETHING other than Big Government and Even Bigger Government this fall. I just don't trust the bastard journalists who insist on telling us what to think to actually let us be heard.
