O +10 in single day polling

UTICA, 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 what happened to give McCain a one-point lead in the one-day polling on Friday? It was a day of consolidation for him, too. He had been losing support among key groups and began to regain some of his own base. He now leads by 21 points among NASCAR fans, 9 among investors, 6 among voters in armed forces households, and 2 among voters over 65 years old.

8. What does it say that a "key group" in Zogby's poll is "Nascar fans"? nt

[HughMoran]

20. From -1 one day to +10 the next?? WHaaaaaaa? He calls himself a pollster?

What a friggin' clown.

[Marsala]

21. Oh look, Zogby rolled the dice and Obama won again!

Hurrah. That random number generator is totally in the tank for us... today, at least.

[HughMoran]

25. It's a dart board

:D

[MidwestTransplant]

4. Wow your're good! I keep reloading but getting yesterday's numbers.

[thesubstanceofdreams]

5. Lol, Obama moving up again

despite outlier result yesterday. This means Obama is CRUSHING McPalin on all days except yesterday.

[tularetom]

6. Had to show Obama under 50% didn't he?

Asshat.

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. And McCain was supposedly UP on one of these days?

Yikes. I'd hate to see the other two.

If I was freeper.

[WeDidIt]

9. I guess McCain must not have lead for a second day

Since he dropped and Obama went up, I'd say Obama probably had a pretty good day yesterday.

Zogby is so screwed after this year. Nobody's going to buy his bullshit methodologies.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. He had a 10 point day.

[johnnydrama]

10. um Mr Zogby

Do you actually believe in your heart of hearts, or more importantly in your brain of brains that there is any basis in Earth reality that it was +1 McCain Friday, and +10 Obama Saturday.

Wouldn't any person with an IQ above, hmmmm, say 50 say, hey, i think we need to fire everybody in my company and start over, change my last name and come up with a new poll.

11. What is the National Lacrosse League fan demographic?

[RagAss]

26. Barr (+4) 72%.....LOL

[FVZA_Colonel]

12. I KNEW there was a reason I heard someone who sounded suspiciously like Matt Drudge

sobbing in the distance when I went for a walk tonight!

[Pirate Smile]

13. Where's the surge? I thought this was a McCain surge. Surges always work.

Hmmmm. Outlier on Friday. Oh, well, too bad.

[aaaaaa5a]

14. Okay guys... do we need any more evidence about the ridiculousness of this poll!

Remember everyone freaking out last night. Sometimes I wish there was a way to ban Zogby daily tracking polls from this site.

[Avalon6]

15. Obama's numbers are going to go way up once that McCain +1 day drops off the average

Good news is that his numbers in Zogby are going to keep going up until election day.

[bluestateguy]

18. That should be Tuesday morning, the final poll

provided that Obama does not have any more bad days.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Hey Drudge........

[HughMoran]

19. LMAO!!

:rofl:

[TheDonkey]

17. but but but McTroll +1!!!! That is what Pat Buchanon was spewing.

[ROh70]

23. When's the last day of polling for Zogby? Is it Sunday or Monday?

If it's Monday, then the numbers should shoot up as the 48-47 day drops off.

[AkFemDem]

24. DO NOT GET TOO EXCITED! I just saw Rasmussen....

has Obama down 9 points!!!! In South Dakota. I am beginning to think maybe he really can't win in South Dakota, and this may spell a South Dakotan victory for McCain. I am *concerned*.

[HughMoran]

27. Darn

& I thought we had SD in the bag!
