Incumbent Jim Talent holds a slight advantage in the Show Me State, according to the latest poll by Zogby Interactive. 49 per cent of respondents in Missouri would vote for the Republican in the election to the U.S. Senate, while 44 per cent would support Democrat Claire McCaskill.

Not surprising. Just about the opposite of the Left Winag St Louis Post Dispatch poll.
LOL. The Post-Dispatch will be so disappointed. They can't believe that fake polls do not translate into real voters.
I don't believe this. It's completely at odds with what I've been hearing in the drive-by media. Everybody knows that the GOP is in for the pasting of the century this coming November, because of mean bad George W. Bush, who lied us into war. Don't cha know.
Finally, a little good news in a race that looks VERY iffy. However, some people have questionsed the methods of this particular polling firm (Zogby International).
You should bookmark this thread for posterity, because it'll be the most respect that the Zogby Interactive crap polls ever get on FR. LOL
Since it's Zogby, the percentage is probably higher than that for Talant. Very liberal leaning poll.
This poll is a rerun from two weeks ago, too.
They'll just have to live with it.
Zogby poll = not worth the electrons needed to show it on the screen. Between this and the equally worthless Drive By Media polls showing the Dim cruising to easy victory, all I can say is, who knows what's really going on in Missouri?
The Zogby Interactive polls are internet polls of those who have signed up with Zogby. I've been taking part since he first started doing them, BTW. Since the respondents are self-selected, Zogby applies a screen to guess what the election day voting population will look like (what percent will be Democrats or Republicans, white or black, etc). Basically, Zogby Interactive is nothing more than Zogby's guesstimate of who will be voting on election day.
You do realize that this is only because the Republicans have "disinfranchised" the illegals, dead people and pets from voting, since they passed a law saying that you must have photo id to vote.

Zogby interactive is as reliable as the "Globe." Talent will win in spite of Zogby's prediction.
Thought you might like this for your ping list.

This is a must win for the GOP. Need Talent to pull through on this.
49%is a good place to be right now.
Not unusual for statewide elections in Missouri to be close.
"I think the talented Talent will win."
I hope the same, as Jim Talent really has lived up to his name.
"Talent will win in spite of Zogby's prediction."
It sounds like Zogby is the Dick Morris of pollsters.
