ZOGBY SATURDAY: McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday poll. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all...

I think Obama is stuck at 47%. McCain will pretty much take the rest.

Less. Don’t forget ...

1) PUMAs voting for McCain
2) Dems staying home
3) electrified Republican base

They’re in denial. They’ve convinced themselves their guy can’t lose, that this is a feint or something! Liberal wishful thinking runs deep.

Bingo. Didn't McCain have a one-point lead in one of the previous polls for a day?

At any rate, Zogs or otherwise, this is what "Obi Wan" at National Review said to watch out for: the Messiah's campaign has built it's whole operation on "inevitability."

It's a three-day rolling average. On the last day of the three, McCain actually led, 48-47 AND a "good Obama day" is dropping off today (i.e., the residue of the "infomercial").

Here is what Zogs says (and, no, I don't believe it because it's Zogs, I believe it because that has been our evidence on the ground):

"Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. "Obama's lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama's good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on."

Battleground has already had it a one-point; Ras has had it a one-point among “most likely voters.” They are trying to keep an Obama lead, but having a crapload of trouble jimmying the numbers anymore.

He is behind in the three days, but read the article: Zogs says Obama had a "good day three days ago" that will roll off. (i.e., the "infomercial," sympathy for grannie in Hawaii).

You combine this with that report of the Battleground Poll (it's buried, but there is a section about the "battleground states being one point") and wow.

Caught it. Thanks. This is hugh and series, even if it's the special Zogsauce. It means that ALL of them have to get their polls in line with reality.

BTW, did you see the article on the Battleground poll? It had Obama leading 3, yet buried deep inside said the "battleground states" (without listing them) were 1-point across the board. Moreover, among the states it actually discussed were . . . IA and NM. Hmmmm.

LOL. Funny that many of us referred to McCain as "McInsane," but I have to quote the movie "Serial," when Martin Mull has a total breakdown and is given tranquilizers. An 8-year-old kid comes in to talk to him (a friend) and Mull says, "Do you think I'm crazy?" and the kid says, "In an insane world, the sane must appear insane." Mull looks at him and the kid says . . .

"Star Trek."

It's possible---his have been the most volatile of any polls. But notice the phrase buried that a "good Obama day" rolls off today. This might be grannie sympathy from Hawaii or the infomercial---not sure about the timing.

Moreover, I've been saying that FRIDAY'S POLLING WOULD NOT SHOW A TIGHTENING BECAUSE SO MANY CITIES HAVE HALLOWEEN OR BEGGAR'S NIGHT ON THURS, NOT FRIDAY BECAUSE FRIDAY IS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. Families (otherwise known as "Republican voters") would not be in on Thurs. night.

Will someone who knows how to post a thread please go to the Atlas Shruggs website - www.atlasshrugs.com
and scroll down to find the memo from the former Hillary campaign who moved over to the Obama campaign when he won the primary.

She says she and others were convinced he would select Hillary for VP but since he did not, they are all livid.

There is so much written here that, if true, is very informative even at this late date.

I wish I knew how to post; I’d do it myself. Other stories on the home page of Atlas Shruggs right now are about the “Reverse Schlep” to FL for votes and lots about Rashidi. Keep scrolling to get to the Hillary campaign worker piece. THANKS!!!

Agree

Can you post a new topic? I don’t know how but just rec’d e-mail from the site Atlas Shrugs. It’s www.Atlasshrugs.com

They have about 11 new articles and if you scroll down you see one by a former Hillary staffer who reveals all sorts of fascinating stuff that even at this late date could be good for all to know.

If I could post it myself I would. Thanks!

Excellent, for a couple of months now my coworkers knowing I am a political wonk have been asking - Who do you think will win?

I reply, McCain because I don’t think America is stupid enough to vote for socialism.

Lately I have been starting to wonder but hopefulley McCain/Palin can pull this one out of the hat!

I don’t trust CBS/NY Times as far as I can throw them, so that poll should just be ignored as propaganda. Gallup is worrisome, but it seems out of line with so many other recent polls(Battleground,Zogby,Ras,IBD,etc.). I think the polls are not catching whatever is going on out there.
Just get out and vote McCain/Palin, no matter what!

Anyone have weighting of D-R-I on Friday’s poll? Regardless, this is terrific news!

Sounds like me in 2000. I was convinced that Dubya was gonna win in a Reaganesque landslide, and be the greatest President of all time. I think a lot of conservatives felt the same way. It’s hard to give up a vision like that, until confronted by hard reality.

The DUmmies aren’t gonna know what hit them on Tuesday night.
