[HughMoran]

9. He went up - was 6.9%, now 7.0%

12. Zogby calls the day "stuck in neutral"

Race stuck in neutral


UTICA, New York—The race for President appeared to slip into neutral Thursday, as support for Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain moved only slightly in the last 24 hours, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking telephone poll shows.

Part of one day's worth of polling came after Obama's 30-minute televised campaign pitch to voters on Wednesday, but voters didn't seem to react one way or the other. The contest remained static with Obama garnering 50.1% support, compared to McCain's 43.1%.

Undecideds or those who support other candidates increased slightly to 6.8% of the sample.

Even in the demographic subgroups, the race changed almost not at all. Including Election Day, there are five days left in the race.

10. This does explain why Drudge didn't show it on his site.

11. The networks got all day to try to say this is good news for McCain

I hope they eat their Wheaties 'cause they have a full day's work ahead.

6.8% undecided? Let's say it's six with that .8 going to other tickets. 70%, the amount of late undecideds our dedicated "horse race" pollers think will break for McCain, would translate to 51.9% and 47.3% on Tuesday if this poll is accurate. Who wouldn't take that?
