Today: Obama-49.5%, McCain-43.8%, Undecided-6.7%
Yesterday: Obama-49.1%, McCain-44.1%, Undecided-6.8%
Since it is rolling, McCain lost ground with todays poll.
Zogby is going to have fun with us this weekend and will back down on Monday.

5.5% for Obama. I guess he had one hell of a night Saturday night, huh?
BTW..not to be rude, but a bad poll for McCain is not exactly BREAKING NEWS.
A good poll would be.
Just about what I expected.
Zogby says...
“A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else’s) health.”
Did you notice that Zogby attacked bloggers at the end of his analysis? This guy is a jerk with phony numbers, and a media whore.

Statistical noise but we are long past national tracking polls. They don’t mean squat any more.
UTICA, New York — After a strong day of polling for Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday, Democrat Barack Obama experienced a strong single day of polling on Saturday, retaining a 5.7 point advantage that is right at the edge of the margin of error of the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll. The race has remained remarkably stable down the stretch, this three-day rolling average poll shows.
Pollster John Zogby: “Obama has consolidated his lead over McCain. His single day lead today was back to 52%-42%. He leads by 10 among independents and has solidified his base. He leads among Hispanics by38 points, African Americans by 88, 18-24 year olds by 36, 18-29 year olds by 25, 25-34 year olds by 16, women by 8, and men by 3. He has a 17 point lead among those who have already voted, 22 by those who have registered to vote in the past 6 months, Moderates by 34, Catholics by 10. He even receives 21% support among Conservatives.
“So what happened to give McCain a one-point lead in the one-day polling on Friday? It was a day of consolidation for him, too. He had been losing support among key groups and began to regain some of his own base. He now leads by 21 points among NASCAR fans, 9 among investors, 6 among voters in armed forces households, and 2 among voters over 65 years old.
“Remember, as I said yesterday, one day does not make a trend. This is a three-day rolling average and no changes have been tectonic. A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else’s) health.”
This has been one of the least entertaining elections I can recall. One way or another, I’m ready for it to be over. Pretty sure it isn’t good for my health- getting jerked around by someone like Zogby. He’s Lucy with the football, and conservatives are Charlie Brown. Tease us with the one point lead yesterday and send us flying tonight.
So....Not much change, is this the three day rolling poll??
I will be a happy person after the elction, if I never have to see a poll again. Yes, I know unrealistic, but one can hope. The polls remind of the API.

If Zog had McCain up by 1 in one day sample Friday, for Obama to have gained ground in the tracking poll would mean that Obama had an extraordinary day on Saturday. Doesn’t add up that Friday and Saturday would be so completely different. I’m calling BS
Zog will make sure O gets to that 50% mark, trust me.
I really don’t think he polls...just goes with a gut feel.
2 more days of this crap!
Zogby says McCain leads “6 among voters in armed forces households, and 2 among voters over 65 years old.”
B.S.!
Hey, Zog got his headline yesterday. He’s happy he can again start to pump up The O
...did Zogby get a visit from ACORN or something?
