Pollster John Zogby: "Three big days for Obama. Anything can happen, but time is running short for McCain. These numbers, if they hold, are blowout numbers. They fit the 1980 model with Reagan's victory over Carter -- but they are happening 12 days before Reagan blasted ahead. If Obama wins like this we can be talking not only victory but realignment: he leads by 27 points among Independents, 27 points among those who have already voted, 16 among newly registered voters, 31 among Hispanics, 93%-2% among African Americans, 16 among women, 27 among those 18-29, 5 among 30-49 year olds, 8 among 50-64s, 4 among those over 65, 25 among Moderates, and 12 among Catholics (which is better than Bill Clinton's 10-point victory among Catholics in 1996). He leads with men by 2 points, and is down among whites by only 6 points, down 2 in armed forces households, 3 among investors, and is tied among NASCAR fans."

I personally know a handful of Republicans that are voting for Obama. I never thought I'd see this. But I believe that is the sentiment out there right now in this country.

The Rothenberg Political report is now predicting a Dem gain of 25-30 House seats. ( these outfits tend to be conservative with their estimates) and 6-9 Senate Seats, along with of course an Obama blow out. Add in 1 or 2 Govenors and a few State Legislatures as well.

Zogby by far is the most conservative with its poll numbers and for Obama to be 9 points ahead in Zogby, McCain is in serious trouble.

I was actually polled by Zogby on Sunday. That's the first time I was ever polled. I'm so glad my responses contributed to this HUGE lead Obama is enjoying.
