Zogby: McCain/Palin Up 47-45%
JammieWearingFool —
I'm not buying this one completely, as Zogby has been off before, although as we noted earlier today Sarah Palin was already polling better than Joe Biden. The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden . In other words, the race is a dead heat. The interactive online Zogby survey shows that both Obama and McCain have solidified the support among their own parties - Obama won 86% support of Democrats and ...

Zogby: Palin may have neutralized Obama’s convention bounce posted at 9:47 pm on August 30, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly The euphoria has finally worn off, leaving a hitherto pessimistic blogger in full-blown panic mode over a complete wild card being slapped onto the table. Tossed about in a roiling sea of heart-ache , he reaches for the thinnest, weakest plank of hope within his grasp: A Zogby poll. Has it come to this, my friends? Convincing ourselves that everything’s going to be okay with data harvested by a guy who blew the California primary by 23 points ? With ...
Zogby: McCain VP Pick Kills Obama DNC Bounce
Stop The ACLU —
I think we all knew this would happen, but here is the first evidence via Zogby. New York - Republican John McCain’s surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama’s historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination - has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows. The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, ...
Conflicting Polls On Obama Convention Bounce And McCain Palin Pick
The Moderate Voice —
... Obama 8 pionts ahead with many voters having lots of questions about Palin. And a Zogby poll shows McCain slightly ahead, with the company saying the Palin pick stalled the Democratic bounce and Zogby himself likening the race between a modern day JFK (Obama) and a modern day Truman (McCain). ...
Zogby: Obama "walloped" by WalMart voters

Zogby: Obama "walloped" by WalMart voters Interesting, because this is a decidedly non-Tiffany's demographic Obama wants to appeal to - the poor and middle class he claims he wants to "help". For whatever reason, they ain't buying his pitch so far ...
Breaking: Zogby: McCain/Palin 47% Obama/Biden 45%
Wizbang —
Obama's post- convention bounce, which wasn't that great to begin with, has been completely erased by John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin for his Vice President. A new Zogby poll done Friday afternoon after McCain's announcement of Sarah Palin as his running mate until this afternoon has John McCain/Sarah Palin at 47% and Obama/Biden at 45%. This is monumental. First, polls taken over a weekend tend to favor Democrats to begin with. Second, Zogby's polls generally favor Democrats as well. Third, the Republicans haven't even had their convention yet. What I find especially encouraging from Zogby's poll is that McCain has solidified ...
Poll: Obama Not Very Popular Among Wal-Mart Voters, 20% Of Hillary Voters Not Supporting Him Either
Say Anything —
Interesting...
Among those who said they shop regularly at Wal-Mart - a demographic group that Zogby has found to be both “value” and “values” voters - Obama is getting walloped by McCain. Winning 62% support from weekly Wal-Mart shoppers, McCain wins these voters at a rate similar to what President Bush won in 2004. Obama wins 24% support from these voters.
Aside from being “values voters,” Wal-Mart shoppers also tend to middle-to-lower class citizens. Blue collar people, in other words, and exactly the demographic Obama has been desperately ...

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right —
It looks like Barack Obama may have gotten his convention bounce after all: A large number of national polls have come out within the past 24-48 hours, most of which had conducted a survey close enough to the beginning of the Democratic convention to provide for a direct comparison. These polls show Obama having gained between 2 and 8 points since before the convention began, or an average of 4.4 points. Although this is slightly below the average convention bounce of 6 points, it is a pretty reasonable result considering that the Republicans had named their VP candidate immediately following the ...
