I'm off to work, so I don't have much time to dig into this. But it brought a little bit of glee to my heart, so I thought I'd share:
Obama leads in ND
Barack Obama is shown with an edge against John McCain in a North Dakota presidential race that has narrowed to a statistical tie, according to a new Forum poll.
The survey shows Obama squeaking past McCain, 45 percent to 43 percent, a lead that falls within the poll’s margin of error and therefore indicates a dead heat, according to political analysts.
Still up for grabs: undecided voters, comprising 12 percent.
“It’s a statistical tossup,” said Jim Danielson, co-director of the Public Affairs Institute at Minnesota State University Moorhead, which conducted the statewide telephone survey for The Forum. Pollsters contacted 606 likely North Dakota voters by telephone Oct. 6-8.
Ultimately, I feel about this the same way I do about the ARG poll in West Virginia: I need a second poll confirming it.
But, nonetheless... Glee.
