Hugh Hewitt: IBD-TIPP 4%; Zogby 5%; Rasmussen 8%
Hugh Hewitt's TownHall Blog —
IBD-TIPP has the presidential race as a 4 point Obama lead. Zogby's Mr. Slinky poll is going down the steps this week, with a narrowing of the race to 5%. Rasmussen puts the gap at 8% and the Obama support at a steady 52% . If McCain stays on the tax hikes the Obama-led Democrats are planning and on Joe Biden's candid warning that our enemies will precipitate a crisis to push a President Obama to the wall, the gap, whether 4 or 8, can close, and tha's without an imagined "Bradley effect." Sarah Palin continues to bring enormous energy and crowds wherever she ...

McCAIN GAINS-- Zogby Has 3 Point Race
Gateway Pundit —
Drudge and Zogby reported: Republican John McCain continues to gain on Democrat Barack Obama, reducing Obama’s lead to 5.3 points with just over a week to go before Election Day, the latest Reuters/C–SPAN/Zogby national daily tracking poll shows. The race now stands at 49.4% to 44.1% in favor of Obama. Obama led McCain by 9.5 points in yesterday’s report. In today's single day of polling, it was 49% to 46% in favor of Obama. McCain has moved his own numbers each of the three days and Obama ...
It’s All Over
Jules Crittenden —
... Except for the voting. And the investigations. Roundup: That it’s over, a week and a half out, doesn’t mean we get to know just yet who wins. Who’s winning right now is irrelevant, though I suspect whoever is going to win is probably determined already and not likely to change before Nov. 4. It appears to be leaning Obamaward, but we’ve learned that the polls don’t mean anything. Zogby, who recorded an Obama gain last week, reports now McCain is tightening . ...
Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: McCain Narrowing Gap With Obama
The Moderate Voice —
The old saying “It ain’t over till it’s over” is nowhere more evident in the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll which now puts Republican Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain within 5 points of frontrunner Democratic Sen. Barack Obama.
Pollster John Zogby attributes it to McCain getting back on message:

Poll Vaulting: Zogby vs. the World
The Moderate Voice —
Another day and another round of polling descends upon us, and once again many are left with squinting eyes and wrinkled noses while looking at the results produced by Zogby in New York. In the same three day period when ABC/Post, Gallup, Newsweek, Rasmussen and Research 2000 all show Obama with leads varying from eight to twelve points and expanding, John Zogby shows a race that is at a 5.3% margin and closing. The only other one near that range seems to be the highly conservative Investors Business Daily which has it at four. How do we arrive at such divergent results?
One interesting clue comes from ...
