+13 would definitely be narrow by the expectations game, as the general over-under from media sources seems more like a thirty-point margin (or, rather, that Clinton will win around two-thirds of the vote).

I wish we had more information on the breakdown of the poll. Anyone have a link? (Doesn't have to be in English.)

No idea, but some breakdowns I found:

If Puerto Rico could vote for President, both Clinton and Obama lead McCain 72-10.

37% said they were absolutely certain to vote, which means that will likely be the turnout (of all registered voters). 48% said they were at least somewhat likely to vote, and that was the group surveyed for their voting intention.

So Puerto Rico polling is as bad as US polling.  Not surprised.

They way overestimated turnout, which I suspect is what sank them (as the group most likely to vote was the group most favorable to Clinton).
