Zogby: Obama Losing Ground Among Several Groups

And McCain now ahead by 5.  Never thought I’d see the day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia’s invasion of Georgia had something to do with this.  You gotta hand it to Karl Rove.  I knew he could create terrorist strikes almost at will, but Russian power-projection?  That’s a new high (or low, as the case may be).

On the other hand, as Prof. Reynolds points out, it’s a Zogby poll.  So you may want to take it with a grain of salt.

I was initially intrigued by Obama, but the more I heard him talk, the more it seemed to me like he wasn’t saying anything while managing to make people feel great about something.

I personally don’t like emotion playing such a big role in my politics.  Give me substance instead.
