Zogby puts Obama up nearly 10%

Pollster John Zogby, in Utica NY, says Democrat Barack Obama continues to solidify and expand his lead over Republican John McCain.

“Three big days for Obama,” Zogby says, marking the Dem at 51.6% and McCain at 42%.

Here’s his summary of the race two weeks out:

“These numbers, if they hold, are blowout numbers. They fit the 1980 model with Reagan’s victory over Carter — but they are happening 12 days before Reagan blasted ahead. If Obama wins like this we can be talking not only victory but realignment…”

Of interest here in the North Country is the fact that Obama appears to be leading among Roman Catholics nationally by 12%, according to Zogby.

The Democrat is also tied with NASCAR fans…not a good sign for the GOP.
