Personally, I’ll be a whole lot happier when I see a poll in which McCain is actually leading, as opposed to being behind by less than was previously expected.
It's like accepting a driver's license picture as evidence instead of the person standing in front of you.
Not hammering you, but this is how freaking poll-obsessed we've become. We now treat polls as superior evidence to actual numbers of votes.
It's like the numbers I posted earlier on African-Americans. Did you know that in only ONE poll has Obama exceeded Algore's 93% level of support? And in MOST polls he doesn't even match Kerry's 87% number? And that in SOME he is at 80%????
Still trust those polls? Which part do you trust? the result? or the part that says 20% of blacks won't vote for Obama? And if he loses 15-20% of blacks, how does he win an election, when Algore lost an election with 93% of blacks?
Fine. This weekend Zogby had McCain leading 48-47. Happy? :-)
