OK, let me start with the proposition that polls right now don't mean shit, and let me further add that the Zogby Interactive Poll, which is done online, isn't viewed with as much credibility as traditional polls that are done over the phone. Finally, there's no way on earth these numbers will hold up. If they're even close, though, McCain has got his work cut out for him. Check this out:
If this poll is to be believed, McCain doesn't really have safe leads anywhere (except perhaps Alabama). The notion that he could lose Arkansas or Arizona ought to send a chill down his spine. The VA, NC, SC thing isn't great news, either, and the fact that he's getting his ass handed to him in MI and MN -- one of which he really needs to win -- is yet another area of concern.
My takeaway from all of this is that notwithstanding the attention it's received over the last two cycles and during the primaries, Florida will have pretty limited influence this time around. Go ahead, McCain, you can have it -- there are plenty of other places to make up those votes.
