The notoriously Democrat-friendly Zogby poll shows Mac in freefall.

UPDATE: Oops. They don’t.

The interactive online Zogby survey shows that both Obama and McCain have solidified the support among their own parties – Obama won 86% support of Democrats and McCain 89% of Republicans in a two-way head-to-head poll question not including the running mates. When Biden and Palin are added to the mix, Obama’s Democratic support remains at 86%, while McCain’s increases to 92%.

They do  show that libertarian Bob Barr has an absurdly high vote total – high enough (presuming he’s stealing mostly from McCain/Palin) to deny Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and (although crosstabs aren’t available for them) Montana and the Dakotas.
Yes, I said “absurdly”.  No Libertarian has ever polled much over 1% in the general election.  Chalk it up to it being an “online”, “interactive” poll, I thinki.

I’ll slot this one into the “good news” column.
