John
Zogby, President and CEO of Zogby International, is by all accounts the
hottest pollster in the United States today.
"All
hail Zogby, the maverick predictor who beat us all," proclaimed the
Washington Post in November 1996 after Zogby alone called the presidential
election with pinpoint accuracy.
Since
1996, Zogby has polled for Reuters News Agency, the largest news agency in
the world, and he has polled for NBC News, the network news watched by
most Americans. His clients also include the New York Post, Fox News,
Gannett News Service, the Albany Times Union, the Buffalo News, the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cincinnati Post, the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, the Syracuse Herald, and nearly every daily newspaper in New
York State, as well as television stations throughout the U.S.
He has been praised as the "the most accurate pollster" (Seattle
Post Intelligencer, Cleveland Plain Dealer, USA Today),
"respected" and "pioneering" (Albany Times Union),
"the pace setter in the polling business" (New York Post), and
"the big winner in 1996" (Campaigns and Elections, L. Brent
Bozell, and the O'Leary/Kamber Report).
Zogby regularly appears on all three nightly network news programs plus
NBC's "Today Show," ABC's "Good Morning America" and
is a frequent guest for Fox News and MSNBC special programs, along with
CNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews." He also is a regular
political commentator for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the
British Broadcasting Corporation.
His
analytical expertise has been
published on the opinion pages of the New York Times, the Christian
Science Monitor, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Boston Globe.
Following
his correct call in the 1997 New Jersey gubernatorial election, the
Houston Chronicle exclaimed, "and the winner again is John Zogby."
Mary He has also distinguished himself in Canada where he alone called the
popular vote victory of the Liberals over the Parti Quebecois in the
Quebec election of 1998.
Zogby holds degrees in history from Le Moyne College and Syracuse
University. He has taught history and political science at the State
University of New York, Utica College, and at Hamilton College's Arthur
Levitt Public Affairs Center. In addition he is a member of the Board of
Trustees of Le Moyne College. He received the distinguished Alumni Award
in June 2000. Zogby is also a Senior Associate of Global Affairs of

and a distinguished visitor at Colgate University.
A frequent lecturer and panelist, he has addressed conventions of the

Physicians, the Health Insurance Association of American and the Euromoney
Conference in Cairo, Egypt, plus prestigious organizations such as the
Sperling Breakfast in Washington, D.C.; The American Association of Public
Opinion Research, (panelist with Gallup, CBS and Roper); the Center for
Strategic and International Studies and Empower America, as well as local
groups like the City Club of Cleveland and the Metropolitan Women's Club
of Minneapolis, national and state gatherings of labor, public advocacy,
and public administration groups. He is listed with Leading Authorities, a
