Last night, Drudge ran the one day single lead of Obama 47%, McCain 48%.... the results were Obama 49.1%-McCain 44.1%.
Tonight, Zogby posts this
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 by 38 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.
And Zogby actually calls out Nate Silver
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."
He's on Crack...
Full 3 Day Results:
Obama: 49.5% (49.1%)
McCain: 43.8% (44.1%)
Because we know 2 of the three days, we can figure out what happened immediately after the Obamamercial.
Obama: 49.5 x 3 = 148.5 - 52 - 47 = 49.5% Interesting
McCain: 43.8 x 3 = 131.4 - 42 - 48 = 41.1 LOL
Drop the Bullshit day, and you have:
Obama: 50.8%
McCain: 41.6%
That sounds more like reality...
