400 is a very small sample adn 4.9 % is huge swing to apply to both. Stat wise they might be tie according to this poll.

I just confirmed a rule of thumb to apply to the lead. A 4.9% margin of error yields a mrgin of error for the yield closer to 8.3% (4.9*1.7 factor)... This means that the sampling error could mean that the 11% lead is as low as 3% wihout considering nonsampling errors.
