Lest we forget

In the days before the 2000 election, Zogby, the pollster a lot of us like, showed Bush's lead INCREASING over Gore. The thing is, Gore won the popular vote. So the BIG MO - momentum - may or may not have been with Bush last time, but it was irrelevant, the polls convinced us Gore had lost and he hadn't.

Just another lesson in making sure you give a skeptical eye to the polls.

Here's what Zogby showed at this time in 2000 - Bush going up, Gore going down, and Bush getting further ahead. Oops.
