The last poll of Ohioans before the presidential election shows the race virtually tied between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Zogby surveyed likely Ohio voters and showed Barack Obama with 49 percent support to John McCain's 47 percent. About 3 percent said they were not sure or voting for someone else.

Zogby pulls two random numbers out of the air.

they will start releasing preliminary exit poll data at 5Pm eastern.  I would expect that to be the time of the next MSM Obamagasm.

Zogby Interactive - Ohio   Oct 31 - Nov 3      n=687 - MOE +/- 3.8 percentage points

Thats right, the MOE is nearly 4 points, out of a sample of 687 people. that creates a field of 52.8 to 43.2 favoring Obama as well as  45.2 to 50.8 for a McCain win. Useless, useless, useless.

It's not useless. In the, admittedly unlikely, event of a McCain win these numbers provide a shred of credibility to Zogby so that people will hire him in the future.

True - useless to everyone but Zogby - this is the equivalent of a weather forecast that reads " It will be a sunny day today, save for the possibility of clouds"

Exactimundo, my boy.  The pollsters, at least, are still Capitalists.
