Zogby Poll: U.S. nationwide tracking poll tied again — Obama 47%-Romney 47%

Nov 05, 2012
by Rob Lillpopp

Pollster John Zogby: “To readers this may seem like watching paint dry. It is. While the lead may change here and there, the polling is clear: The American people are tied. The real question (and vote) will be on November 7 — will we agree to disagree? Will one side give? Will one side concede that the election is the will of the public? Democracy relies on that. Meanwhile, Romney leads among those who have already voted and the two candidates are very close among voters who say they will “definitely” and are “very likely” to vote. Romney now leads among independents (49% Romney, 37% Obama) but 13% are still undecided — and independents, as always, remain volatile. Or are they “decided” about not voting for either? Romney leads 58%-37% among whites, while Obama is solid among Hispanics (69%-23%) and African Americans (91%-7%). Obama has grown his lead among the Creative Class by 19 points (57%-38%), a lead that is growing daily. But Romney has made gains among NASCAR fans and Weekly Wal-Mart Shoppers — both vital to his success. After a week of “presidential leadership” following Sandy, Obama is still not locking this up.”

    Constant references to the national polls is really useless. Given the Electoral College, the general partisan classification of each state, and the telescoping of the national election to basically 5 "swing" states make the national polling completely a waste of time to discuss.

    I find this Poll to subjective to be creditable. The last line of Zogby's quote speaks of "presidential leadership". A nice notion but, completely subjective. Looking at the named supporters also drips with partiality. The "creative class" is a loosely defined class that is debatable. I would suggest the weekly Wal-Mart Shoppers has a negative conotation. Frankly, what the hell kind of class is that.
