It’s Not Even Close

Zogby Inter­na­tional releases another mean­ing­less poll:

The race for Pres­i­dent of the United States remains far too close to call between Demo­c­rat Barack Obama and Repub­li­can John McCain as both can­di­dates head toward the fin­ish line, a recent Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily track­ing tele­phone polls shows.

I’m sure Zogby knows this, but national polls do not mat­ter. At all. The pres­i­dent and vice pres­i­dent are elected by the elec­toral col­lege, not the peo­ple directly. If peo­ple want to esti­mate the race between Barack Obama and John McCain, go to a site like this one that breaks polls down by state.

And guess what? Right now, it’s Obama in a landslide.
