Yes, it’s Zogby but it still shows John McCain leading:
ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error… The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all…
I talked earlier tonight with King about the state of the various races. Here’s what I said then: I don’t think anyone knows where this race is at. That said, one thing we agreed on is that Obama’s shifting tax cut numbers are cutting Obama’s support. There aren’t a ton of people making $250,000.
At that point, most people thought that they wouldn’t be affected by Obama’s plan. Then suddenly, the number was $200K, then $150K. Finally, Gov. Richardson floated the number of $120K. Each time that number drops, more people, the more people it affects. Likewise, the more people it affects, the more people beneath that income level start wondering if they’re the next target.
Whether people are wondering if they can trust Sen. Obama is still the unanswered question. We’ll be tracking this the rest of the weekend, though.
That’s for certain.
UPDATE: I just started thinking about this. Anytime anyone’s started saying negative things about Sen. Obama recently, they’ve been labeled racists or they’ve been investigated. Is Mr. Zogby prepared for the pro-Obama onslaught?
UPDATE II: Here’s John Zogby’s take on things:
“Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. “Obama’s lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama’s good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on.”

Oops. Now (Monday) Zogby has it 7.1 for BHO. McCain had a nice 24 hour run there.
