Don’t freak out over Zogby’s poll

Lo, and I am sure many others, is tripping over the latest Zogby poll showing McCain up by five on Obama. Well y’all just need to relax. Zogby’s numbers are notoriously unreliable, this one looks like an outlier when compared to most of the other numbers out there, and national polling is irrelevant besides. This is a state by state contest now and by that score, Obama is way, way ahead.

So please, take a deep breath and chill out. We have a ways to go yet but heading into the Conventions, Obama is in pretty good shape.
