curious, SUSA seems to be under polling Obama here.  Perhaps they're also underpolling him in their most recent PA poll as well.

I think 32% black is a significant underestimate; I'd guess around 38-40%. But we'll see.

How do you know that it isn't the other pollsters overpolling him? You shouldn't assume that x must be more accurate than y just because you like what x tells you.

I don't, which is why I said seems to be.  Nothing is ever certain.  But when a multitude of other reputable pollsters show a completely different race I don't think its that big of a leap to assume the one outlier is wrong.

I hope SUSA isn't right again...

In otherwords you think that because It Stands To Reason?

One thing I don't like,  93% of the people polled were Democrats and 7% were Indys. Indys will make up 30 to 40 percent on election day.

Right now Indys make up 21 percent of the RV in NC.

Obama needs to aim to win NC by twice the margin Clinton wins PA, at least, to keep his lead in the overall popular vote on track given that whatever happens in PA, IN and NC, WV and KY will be Clinton blow-outs

In terms of popular vote, this is going down to the wire unless either Obama or Clinton implode
