Rasmussen has had the best record over the last several years.
Obama has been even or ahead for months in every poll, and even in analyses of polls (polls of polls).
McCain needs a hat trick, and quickly.
Zogby, who also has a pretty good record, doesn't seem to agree with Rasmussen.
While I agree that we're in a close race (well, except for Rasmussen ...) McCain does need to do something to blunt Obama's apparant momentum.
The only poll that matters is the one in the voting booth.
Polls have been wrong before, political fortunes swing with the wind. How many people who respond to these polls are actually going to vote?
As much as I tend to think this country needs an Obama administration to whack some good sense into the minds of many in the electorate, an Obama administration would preside over a major economic meltdown and if you think Dubya handled the war bad, you ain't seen nuttin' yet. It would be years of pain.
Do the people really deserve that kind of punishment?
I'd rather not see it myself.
But I am not going to look at day-to-day tracking polls and stroke out because McCain isn't up by 98 points, fer krissake ......
