A bit naive to think the Washington Post is completing an unbiased poll. The bottom line in looking at polls is who is doing them & why. Is the source of the poll a service that gets paid for accuracy or a news outlet who gets paid on subscriptions and ad revenue?

I would argue a source such as Zogby who is independent and is a "third-party" that is only interested in the accuracy of their numbers is the best way to go. How reliable their numbers are is how they get paid. A polling service like this is much better than the Washington Post, NY Times, Fox News or WSJ.
