The Zogster is calling it like it is.... the late undecideds typically break for the challenger!

Stick a fork in O - he’s done.

This is Zogby?

Didn't he have Obama winning last week?

Obama losing a point isn’t the result of “undecideds breaking to Romney” but of some Obama supporters giving up on him. Look for him to lose another 1-2 points of support before election day.

Zogby has been rather invisible this election cycle.

Sure they did, but polls in the last weak of the campaign are used to judge the accuracy. The accuracy is used to set the billing rate. Zog took a big hit after getting 2008 and 2010 so badly wrong. Now he is going to pull out the "Special Sauce" and get his polls as close to Gallup and Rasmussen as possible. At least that way if he is wrong all his competition would be wrong too.

Zogby and his special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion, on a sesame seed bun.

Yeah he made the right call here.

But that isn’t news to any one - while the polls may have tightened, it doesn’t change the underlying dynamic of the race.

Zogby is a joke. But even he has to analyze what’s around him and peg Obama at 46-47.

In case the concern trolls can’t put 2 and 2 together: An incumbent at 47% with a week to go will lose in a landslide.

Zogby has been rather invisible this election cycle.

He is invisible because he blew it in 2008 so badly. Gallup is only back in the running because they got close in 2010. Zogby can't afford to blow another one or nobody will hire him.

Here are the grades for the 2008 election.

I think he is still off, but 1% is beyond fraud range and that’s all we need.

Zog took a big hit after getting 2008 and 2010 so badly wrong.

Don’t forget his major screw up in 2004:

Obama is done. When you lose Zog, you have no hope.

Romney gaining 3 points since the beginning, and Obama losing 1 point.

Is this referencing another poll?

Zogby must be choking on his special sauce.

Prediction: The Lames are doing EVERYTHING they can to portray Zero as being brilliant in this hurricane ‘crisis’ and ALSO watch how the role of the federal government is being lauded (”We NEED big government!”) There is still time for the Lames to concoct a ‘comeback’ for Zero in crap polls to convince the sheeple that the election will be a squeaker. But predominantly, these crap polls will be designed to fire up Dims to get to the polls.

This DAMNED election can’t come soon enough. UGH!!

Not even Zogby's secret sauce will help Obama now...

I need someone to convince me that this storm isn’t going to boost Obama for the final stretch. I have a sick feeling that this gives him a boost.

Rush has ‘em pegged: most pollsters eventually have to protect their reputation and credibility, if they expect folks to pay attention to their political prognostications. Sure months and weeks out from the election they can push poll and try to sway public opinion, but come election time they have to drop the BS or they won’t be asked back to the dance.
