John Zogby lets fly against the Marist Institute claiming, in a press release, "Marist Results Unreliable, Misrepresent Upstate Support". The harshest critique actually comes from Golisano campaign manager Charles Halloran, who claims Marist polls "consistently over-represent Republicans by as much as 25% in their survey." But wouldn't Zogby be more credible in making critiques of this nature, given that he's the pollster? That the campaign used Halloran to say it must mean that Zogby wouldn't allow himself to be quoted saying it, which must mean that it's not really true.
Meantime, Halloran's big shtuch, "The Marist Institute should change its name to the Institute for Republican Public Opinion"(emphasis his), is pretty weak, as they go. Why even keep the word "Public" in there? It's just distracting. Halloran has not learned the lesson of Terry McAuliffe.
