Whose poll?! I can't see how he could have pulled ahead in one day.

Trick or Treat!!! ;-)

Here, read this blog entry from Nate Silver that debunks Zogby's poll entirely (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/trick-or-treat.html). Zogby isn't exactly the most reliable pollster out there.

Oy vey, thank you for that link. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the numbers. They came so completely out of nowhere!

Zogby is not a reliable poller. For a more accurate picture, check out FiveThirtyEight (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com), which has addressed the Zogby issues several times.

Thank you!

Damn, this kind of thing is not good for my heart.

It's been within the margin of error for quite a few days, with Obama in the lead, and now it's basically the same thing. I wouldn't get too excited either way, since for my money "within margin of error" means "dead heat."

All the polls I've seen still have Obama in the lead, though some of them are within the margin of error.
