American Univ. prof. on C-Span re. Zogby poll says M's gains are in the South and OH, IN, and MO

On the bullshit front, the male vote supposedly switched 8 points overnight from +4 Obama to +4 McCain.

1. The Other Day He Said McCain Was Leading Among Jewish Voters

They make up about 2% of the voting population and he polls 1,200 people...That means 24 of those polled were Jewish... The margin of error is higher than 24%...

He's a charlatan...

2. Why doesn't Zogby just reprort state by state results. National polling is meaningless.

I suspected most of McCain's poll bumps have been in typical redneck red states where some voters are torn between Obama and McCain and can easily change their minds.

3. It Would Cost A Fortune To Do Fifty Individual Tracking Polls

4. Yes, of course that makes sense. So he is not actually polling every state.

I guess just random calls to each region then extrapolate that to the whole country.

5. The Problem Is Is The Samples Are So Small From The Individual States

He probably called up a handful of people in some states...
