ZOGBY SUNDAY: Single day of polling, 49% to 46% in favor of Obama... Developing...
I am a republican and my wife is a democrat, both voting for McCain. My mother in law is an independent, and undecided.
So, with 33% republicans, 33% democrats and 33% undecided, the election now polls at 66% McCain, 0% Obama and 33% undecided. Blowout for McCain!
Not to change the subject but how can I post a photo?
Well, that’s stupid. (Zogby, not you)
Thanks the lord. Even if Zogby’s national polls are - as the evidence indicates - crap, the simple act of reporting good or bad numbers does influence voter behavior. So if Zogby adjust his special sauce to make his poll a little closer to reality, that might cause other pollsters to follow suit, which will reduce the “bandwagon effect.”
The “bandwagon effect” being the tendency of idiots (i.e. Independents) to vote for popular guy.
BTW, plug this into your media player to hear Sarah Palin live for about the next 15 minutes:

It doesn’t look pretty, but it’s a link to live video.
Remember McCain comes out with his heavy advertising Monday...and will go through the election..that should help. Obama has been outspending McCain 5 to 1 a this point

How can this be, the media is already planning a victory party. On a more serious note, during mass today the priest almost came out and send you cannot vote for odumbo because of abortion
So according to Zogby it’s now a dead heat again.
There is no honor or ethics, or anything else anymore on polling or the MSM. How Bloody in the Tank can you get???????
Zogby decides to include Republican likely voters in his sampling for once.
That’s how we win. Good work!
You don’t have to believe it just in your heart man. It has been so well documented so many times by good FReepers here who have posted article after article by MATHEMATICIANS, and, people who have combed over past election statistics that are not UNKNOWNS, nor fantasies, nor PROJECTIONS INTO THE FUTURE, known only to our Lord, which show that these polls not only are SUSPECTED to be wrong, but ARE WRONG.
As DJ Drummond over at www.wizbangblog.com has pointed out, you can’t have two “respected” pollsters ON THE SAME DAY, have 95% confidence level and be 14 FREAKING POINTS APART!!!
Please excuse my shouting.

I didn’t want to say anything, but last week I got to go to Utica and visit Zogby’s polling office. They’ve got some ‘interesting” polling methods:
Monday
Zogby: Magic 8 Ball, Is Barrack Obama winning big?
8 Ball: Consult me Later
Tuesday:
Zogby: Magic 8 Ball, Is John McCain still in it?
8 Ball: Reply Hazy. Try Again
Wednesday:
Zogby: Magic 8 Ball, Does Barrack Obama have a 10 point lead
8 Ball: It is certain
Thursday:
Zogby: Magic 8 Ball, does Obama have this thing locked up?
8 Ball: Don’t bet on it
Friday
Zogby: Magic 8 Ball, Are my polls too sporadic and useless?
8 Ball: Without a doubt!
I’d wait to see what Zogby says tomorrow before concluding anything.
You have mail. Let me know if it works, OK?
Well, tomorrow is only about 12:45 AM EST, when the Zog releases the new poll on his site. It won’t be Obama +3, because it includes prior polling days. It’ll be somewhere around Obama +5 to +7.
The day that ballooned 0’s lead to 12 points falls off tonight, to be replaced by a +3 sample.
True, Hillary would be ahead by 20 points by now. Whatever the effects of Operation Chaos (I tend to think it played a smaller role than many think), pulling for Obama to win in the primary was the smart move. He's the only one we even have a chance against.
Weird election year; sort of like, "Our worst guy against their worst guy." I still think it's a race. For America's sake, I hope McCain pulls it out.
