Zogby Tracking Poll - 10/12-GOOD for us:

[jenmito]

"The biggest development of the last 24 hours in terms of the poll was Obama's strong move among independent voters, where he now leads McCain by 21 percentage points, roughly doubling his support from just the day before. Among Democrats, Obama wins 85% support, while McCain wins 86% support among Republicans. It is an interesting side note that McCain is winning more support from Democrats (10%) than Obama is winning from Republicans (8%), but the edge is insignificant.

Obama appears to be making inroads to McCain's political base in other demographic groups. He has tied McCain among men, while he leads by 12 points among women. Among Catholics, the race is essentially tied - McCain leads by a 47% to 45% edge.

Among those who consider themselves members of the investor class, McCain leads by only a 49% to 44% margin. Among non-investors, Obama leads by a 53% to 38% margin.

Those who say they are liberals support Obama by a 83% to 10% over McCain, while McCain leads among conservatives by a 71% to 19% edge. Among moderates, 62% support Obama, while 33% support McCain. Among military families, the race is essentially a dead heat - McCain leads, 47% to 44% for Obama."

1. Awesome. That is great news.

He is even pulling 19% of conservatives. It is the Undecideds who will determine things in this election, though, and they have been falling into Obama's camp for a long time now.

GREAT NEWS!

:bounce:

3. Yup! The undecideds must HATE what McCain is doing and the conservatives hate that

McCain is acting like a liberal with his most recent economic policies.

2. Negative campaigning by McCain = more support by Indies for Obama.

I wonder when McLurch will figure that one out. Hopefully never.

[jenmito]

4. Exactly. I hope McCain keeps doing exactly what he's BEEN doing!

His own polling must show it's not working, though, since he had to start telling people in his angry KKK rallies that Obama's a "decent man."

5. Well... Now We Know That 10% Of Democrats...

are either idiots or racists.

I think this is more evidence that Gallup is bringing themselves down to the average of the polls. :hi:
