Zogby interactive: McCain/Palin 47% Obama/Biden 45%
Edited on Sun Aug-31-08 09:47 AM by npincus
OK, it was an online poll, not precise.

ON EDIT: instead of grousing about why I would ever post an interactive poll (had it shown our candidate 20 points ahead, there'd be jubilation). don't respond and it will SINK and GO AWAY. Jeez... go have your morning coffee and calm down.

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

In other words, the race is a dead heat.

2. I started participating in this poll
I gave up 30% of the way through.

Zogby couldn't conduct an accurate poll if his life depended on it.

20. Yeah, I don't even bother when people want to DU AOL polls. What's the point?
Online polls are meaningless.
Oh, and I agree, it was my favorite movie of the summer, along with Dark Knight. Both were awesome.

6. Why do people keep posting about this stupid, meaningless, non-poll?
It has no scientific validity and it's not even a poll. It's a survey. And it's already been posted three times that I know of.

:banghead:

10. But then you call the race a dead heat in your OP. This poll doesn't prove that.
It has absolutely no validity.

16. I used to get those polls
They stopped sending them to me a while ago. Maybe they didn't like my answers.
