#3 You don't want too big of a lead in the polls or people will stay home on election day thinking it is in the bag.

#7 And this is in-spite of the MSMs open worship of the big ZERO.

Hopefully OBama has flamed out too soon and people are beginning to actually engage their brains and look at his background and total lack of experience.

#8 Let's not rejoice too soon: fpr now it is only one poll and one institution. Zogby not Gallup. Zogby is Deùocrat but could ne that they are Clintonian and bad numbers before teh convention could end in a Haillary come-back.

Let's not over rejoice but start looking for some AK47 ammo for the gun sex parade when MacCain is elected.

#9 We want the Dimmocrats eating each other at the convention, we DO NOT want the Hildabeast pulling the carpet out from under The Zero.

Her snatching (sorry) the nomination away from Obama would be a potential disaster for us.

When Obama loses the General Election, the recriminations between the two camps should tear the Dimmocrat party apart. Yea!

#10 Zogby is easily the least reliable of the major polling firms, but some others were showing upticks today, I hear.

Eh. It's early yet. The McCain ground game stinks so far in comparison with Bush-Cheney '04.

#12 If Zogby says the lead is 5-point, it is likely more than 10-point.

OTOH, there are lies, damn lies and then polls and statistics.

#13 Zogby can't be trusted, but other polls are showing similar results....

#14 The telephone poll of 1,089 likely voters had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

I believe McCain has been leading likely voters for some time. Other polls showing a slight lead for Obama have been among registered voters. Though I would like to see the number of Dems, Reps, and Inds polled for any sampling bias. What I found most interesting is that falling liberal support is leading falling support among Dems. Events are forcing Obama to take a position on some issues and even the left is beginning to dislike what they see.
