...is a Zogby bounce. Sure the guy has little or no credibility as a reliable pollster, but it'll cheese off the Freepers. :evilgrin:

1. I beg to differ....
between the Mason-Dixon polls and the drop in RCP EV totals this has been the most shitty day on the campaign trail.

2. You're insane.
These Mason-Dixon results are all GAINS, not losses. They're screwing up the RCP totals because they trend Republican, but Obama has improved in nearly every single state by their measure.

Please relax.

4. Most of them had McCain ahead.
M/D polls about once a month. Nate Silver has a whole spiel about this at fivethirtyeight.com
