Zogby: McCain Up By One On Friday

Zogby’s latest poll numbers put Obama over McCain 49.1-44.1 over the last three days, but that includes a Friday that saw McCain outpoll Obama 48-47.  McCain’s surge comes despite Obama’s Wednesday night informercial and expanded operations across the nation.  Whether McCain can continue this upswing (or if it’ll be reflected in other polls) or if it’s too little, too late we’ll have to see.

11/2 UPDATE: Zogby’s Sunday morning numbers has Obama leading 49.5-43.8 with a special note from John Zogby himself:

“Remember, as I said yesterday, one day does not make a trend. This is a three-day rolling average and no changes have been tectonic. A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else’s) health.”

    Oh — and I would actually think McCain might get a bit of a bump from SNL tonight. You never know?

    [...] pick up two full points on Obama overnight - a hard thing to do in a three-day tracking poll (h/t Bearing Drift).  Zogby’s explanation is . . . “Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds [...]
