PPP-D Poll Unintentionally Reveals McCain steadily Ahead in NC!
Public Policy Polling (Democrat Pollster) ^ | 9-29-08 | PPP-D

More good news!

Public Policy Polling, a Democrat Pollster, revealed a poll today showing Obama +2 in North Carolina. But one quick look at the internals reveals a steady McCain lead, when real numbers are applied.

What do I mean?

The Party turnout in the 2004 election?

Republicans 40%
Democrats 39%
(GOP +1%)

The Party breakdown in this poll?

Democrats 48%
Republicans 34%
(Democrats +14%)

Breaking down the poll by 2004 turnout numbers, we get these corrected numbers:

McCain: 48.4%
Obama: 41.0%
Others: 10.6%
(McCain by 7.4%!)

Even if the Dems have relatively expanded their party, and even by a pretty decent 4-6%, they still lose by outside the margin-of-error --- in a Democrat poll!!! They need a 14 point swing just to be statistically TIED!!! LOL
