The
presidential race is still too close to call and could come down to the
very last weekend before voters decide if they like or distrust Barack
Obama, a national pollster predicts.
“I don’t think Obama has closed the deal yet,” pollster John Zogby told the Herald yesterday.
Zogby’s latest poll, released yesterday in conjunction with C-Span and
Reuters, shows Obama and John McCain in a statistical dead heat, with
the Illinois Democrat up 48-45 percent.
Zogby said the race mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didn’t
embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days
before the election.
“The Sunday before the election the dam burst,” Zogby said of the 1980
tilt. “That’s when voters determined they were comfortable with Reagan.”
