I am no fan of Zogby but I know a lot of McCain supporters were hoping that his one day of actually leading a national poll might actually result in a lead for the three day polling period. This was a much discussed topic Friday after a misleading Grudge headline gave some supporters hope of a real closing of the polls. Oh well!

TICA, 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, after McCain's 1 point lead on the Friday poll, Obama wiped out all that and then some by burying McCain by 10 points on Saturday. How come Drudge doesn't banner this as a headline on his site?
I hear and read all of these polls, but living in the second most conservative city in the United States, I don't see it. I know very few people here who are voting for Obama, and it concerns me. I hope the polls are correct and we are just a conservative island.
