NBC/WSJ Poll: '08 race turns into a dead heat

Barack Obama holds a narrow one-point lead over John McCain

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain has nearly erased Democrat Barack Obama’s national lead and turned the presidential contest into a dead heat, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

In that poll, Obama holds a narrow one-point lead over McCain (47-46 percent), which is down from his three-point advantage in August (45-42 percent) and six-point edge in July (47-41 percent). LINK

Rassmussen, Gallop and Zogby are fairly representative of the American public. Local surveys and surveys taken by ideologically leaning media, however, will be polling their own subscribers and listeners - who will generally agree with the source providing them their entertainment and "news." Results compiled by a Utah broadcaster or publisher will usually prove dramatically different than similar polls taken in, say, New Orleans�?media - or MTV. NBC is clearly in the tank for the Left: polling an even contest should be scaring the crap out of them.
