    The zogby poll has been a one sided joke this entire primary. It's not even close to legitimate. Why question it?

    Because the Zogby poll was national. All that poll is good for is predicting who will get the higher popular vote total in the general election, which is pretty useless.

    Whom people say they will vote for, when they are talking to a pollster, and whom people actually vote for, once they are in a voting both, are two different things.

    One thing to consider -- the Bradly Effect.

    The polls you are looking at are national polls. He lost states that favored Clinton. Poor, uneducated white voter states.

    Maybe what everyone should be looking at is how Obama fair against McCain in the general, which is not well.
