Zogby Interactive: This is officially the funniest sh**t ever.

Given "purple" states to candidate leading; while MT, ND and NV are "too close to call"

Whatever else , Zogby seems to be reporting identity politics. Age-based identity politics with McCain leading among seniors possibly everywhere!

Young voters ain't giving Obama a bounce in Kentucky; he trails McCain, 44 to 39

South Carolina?

Yep. According to Zogby, it's Obama 42; McCain 41

As for maps, it gets better:

Obama 268 (leads by 6% or more)
McCain 73 (leads by 6% or more)
Toss-up 197 (leads within 5% either way)

Third, from other unpublished surveys I have seen, I suspect that the "undecided" category is likely to break favorably for McCain.

Hopefully not should Obama cross the acceptability threshold. The task ahead for Obama is to reassure those who are 1) looking for a change of direction and 2) want to believe in him and his vision but remain sceptical between now and November - and only he can do that
