However, it is important to note that SurveyUSA, like any poll, should be taken with a grain of salt. In the primaries, SurveyUSA was often the most reliable in the Clinton-Obama race, but it was off by large margins in some contests (we remember North Carolina being one of them, but must note everyone but Rasmussen was off in North Carolina...SurveyUSA nailed other contests perfectly, and it seems its sampling problems were 100% tied to high...

The exclusive 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS/SURVEY USA Poll shows Obama holding a one-point lead over McCain, with the margin of error at a statistical dead heat Tuesday. Just two weeks ago, Obama held a five-point lead in Minnesota. Nationally, it’s a slightly different story: A new ABC News poll has Obama ahead of McCain 48 to 42-percent. Obama’s lead is down a percentage point from one month ago. kstp http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2032636/posts#comment Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:48:33 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2032540/posts If there were an election for President of the United States today, would you vote for Republican John McCain?
