Like many conservative talk-radio hosts, John Ziegler kind of seems like an asshole. At the end of an interview with Nate Silver, Zeigler signed off with a tart "Go fuck yourself." But the poll conducted by John Zogby International for Zeigler's anti-Obama website, while sloppy and biased, is not quite the push poll that Silver says it is.
Of course, we're not defending the poll itself; the "right" answers to many of the questions seem less-than-correct, and it in no way proves that Obama voters are any more misinformed than the public as a whole (which is what Zeigler seems to be trying to prove). It's an unquestionably bad poll, and it proves little more than that 500 or so Obama supporters had some difficulty answering a dozen questions cherry-picked by John Ziegler. Still, it's not a push poll, it's just a bad poll, which is plenty bad enough.
