It is narrowing, part III

Half of Zogby's current national poll average was taken after Obama's infomercial ... and here are his preliminary findings.

No evidence that Obama benefited from the infomercial.
Obama's support dropped 1.1%, McCain's gained 0.8%.
The last day of polling had McCain winning 48% to 47%. Zogby cautions us to wait until tomorrow to see if McCain really has traction.
Pollster John Zogby: "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."

Something squirrely with that link.

Yeah, looks like the OP's link is back to this thread.

I think Obama stepped in it big time with "Joe the Plumber".
Then there's the "less than $250K", then "less than $200K", then Biden saying "less than $150K". Will "$100K" be next? That would start cutting into a lot of liberal and moderate "DINK's"*.
And Hilliary's "PUMA's" aren't helping Obama either.

Sad testament really. "As long as I don't get affected by a tax increase, I don't care!"

Ahhh.....but they WILL go up, even if you make less than $100K. All Obama has to do is make sure the Bush tax cuts "sunset". I've done the math, and if they are allowed to expire, then my federal taxes go up well over $2000/yr. McCain has said he wants to make them permanent.

Also, in 2011 the Estate tax(inherantance tax) rates return to pre-2005 levels.

With a margin of error of 3-4%, how can anyone make claims of "McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%"? Or "Obama's support dropped 1.1%, McCain's gained 0.8%"?

Another Obama spokesperson has dropped the "rich" rate down to $120k per year.

I've started calling Obama's descending cutoff figure "Slinky Economics"

By the time you get a good look at it, it's already on it's way down again.
