Nader Making an Impression in Polling

Polls are just that, surveys in the moment of individuals and their thoughts, impressions, attitudes, opinions, moods, and actions. Zogby has a poll out showing Ralph Nader with a level of support in the area of five to six percent. It would seem unlikely this level of support would continue into November, but if it were to, or perhaps even increase, it would have a great effect on the presidential election. Support of Nader of any substantive amount would definitely push the election to McCain, particularly if Clinton is the Democrat opposition. Obama might be able to weather a Nader candidacy better, but its no sure thing. It will be interesting to observe what develops along these lines in the coming months with all the bad news and hardship on the increase nationally.
