My attitude towards Zogby is that because he is a Democrat who has stated publicly that he thinks Kerry will win, his polls are credible only when they show Bush with the lead.
Zogby state polls are not to be trusted...
Accordiong to RCP, the most recent polls have had Bush significantly up on Kerry. Take a look. Ciruli is a local Colorado pollster.
Survey USA | 10/18-10/20 596 LV 4.1 52 45 - Bush +7
Ciruli Assoc | 10/15-10/19 600 LV 4.0 48 42 2 Bush +6
Rasmussen | 10/18 500 LV 4.5 50 45 - Bush +5
CNN/USAT/Gallup | 10/14-17 666 LV 4.0 51 45 1 Bush +6
Mason-Dixon | 10/14-10/16 630 LV 4.0 49 43 1 Bush +6
I think Kerry's internals show that he's in deep doo-doo. He has started running ads this week in Haiwaii, an electoral "prize" of 4 votes! Apparently, Bush is ahead in Hawaii by 3 pts. Remeber, this is the state that went to Carter in 1980 and dukkakis in 88- very, very liberal territory.
Looking at the big picture, I think the Klown is re-arranging the deck charis on the Titanic. I predict Bush takes WI, OH, FL, MN, Iowa, Hawaii, New Hampshire- this is going to be an electoral college slam dunk, folks.
If anybody has any doubt about Ohio. They should check out this link:

If anybody has any doubt about Flordia. You should check out this link:

Read these and you'll feel a lot better.
I hope Zogsauce is right because if Bush wins Ohio and Florida, the Dems are in a world of hurt. They'd either have to win Colorado or a combination of New Hampshire and Nevada *and*, in any scenario, win every state Gore won.
That ain't gonna be easy.
As of today, Tradesports electoral vote is Bush 297 Kerry 241.
However, Ohio continues to move to Kerry in the odds.
Overall Bush's odds at Tradesports and IEM has fallen from the low 60's to the mid 50's.
I only really trust Zogby and Gallup- I feel queezy about the other polls; these are the only two I wait for.
Actually will it be raining in the whole North East next week? This can be very good because I trust Florida is ours.... so it couldn't rain in a better sector of the United States.
It appears that Zogby is getting some weird results from Colorado, though. All of the other poll reports that I've seen have reported President Bush as being ahead for some time. And as someone else mentioned minutes ago, didn't the Kerry Campaign stop running ads in Colorado weeks ago?
Kerry Closer, But Bush Leads In Colorado

Enough of Zogby already. I think it was Mort Kondrake(sp?) on FOX last night, mentioned that "The Weekly Reader" a childrens magazine, had Pres. Bush by a landslide and they haven't been wrong since 1957.
