New Zogby Poll

Reuters/Zogby Poll: A interesting new Poll, this finds the Obama lead down to three points. Mr Joe the Plumber has been effective. The Poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 45%. The spread the wealth comment has really hurt Obama, also the Liberal attack on Mr Joe, an ordinary guy that wants to work hard and look after his family, this worry that Obama is some extreme liberal that wants to take the USA down the road that the UK went down in the 1970s and become the Sick Man of Europe. If was on the McCain Campaign I would send Mr Joe to some Blue States, let him tell his story, he was very effective on Huckabee last night. The Liberal Press have given Joe more of hard time that they have Obama over Ayers, Wright and ACORN. As stated Obama will win but it wont be a landslide, in 2000 George W. Bush won the Presidency and had Congress for most of his term, that turned out well. The American voter might vote for Obama for President but split their vote and vote for the Republican for Congress. The USA seems to work well when the Presidency and Congress area lead by different Parties. A Republican Congress would prevent Obama going to far to the left, also would make sure that he had a tough Foreign Policy, otherwise a Liberal Congress would drag Obama to more to the left, talks with Cuba and Iran, surrender in Iraq. How long before the left want to talk to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Thus it can be postulated that that Obama will win the Presidency but the American Voter might want to balance that out with a Republican leading or power full Republican element in the Congress.
