John Zogby said the race mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didnt embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days before the election.
The Sunday before the election the dam burst, Zogby said of the 1980 tilt. Thats when voters determined they were comfortable with Reagan.
Now voters are wrestling with two senators with opposite resumes - Obama, at 47, the unknown, and the established 72-year-old McCain.

Finally a little good news. Keep the faith. We’re gaining.
To: housedeep
When this is combined with the other polls showing a gap of 2 to 3 points, it’s still for the taking.
To: housedeep
All of the polls seem pretty tight including Zogby, but what’s with that Gallup Tracking?
To: housedeep
Ah, for once and at last: some good news.

McCain has razor thin victory with 274 electoral votes

Here’s what I want: a side-by-side of ALL the polls currently, and at this point, last election, with the actual final results.

Ras gave Barry a lead of 9 points just a day or so ago. That means that McCain must have had some really good polling.
To: BibChr
Gallup idiots are tracking registered voters, not likely. I believe it’s intentional.

The more voters learn about Obama’s RADICAL past and radical intentions, the less they want that kind of “change”.

I would like to see the same thing. The tracking polls at this time 4 years ago

This may be more than just a little “good news”. It seems many of the pollsters over-sample DEMS, so when it got to single digits, or within their “margin of error”, it indicated to me anyway that McCain may actually be ahead.

Maybe people don’t like guys who hang out with terrorists and it’s sticking.
To: housedeep
i still think Rasmussen has a deeply flawed poll
but i do believe in seeing trends...and there is a sure trend back towards mccain.
To: housedeep
Despite the gains, McCain will have to do better in the next debate than in the last snore fest. While Obama was glib he was just repeating the same old mantras. McCain needs to take lessons from Palin and get some fire in the belly and call Obama on the carpet about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. How about asking Lord Obama what he thinks about those who call on God to curse America.

Maybe people dont like guys who hang out with terrorists and its sticking. At a minimum, it is causing some people to question how much they/we know about Obama. Hopefully those include some of the undecided/swing voters.
