Poll: McCain, Obama in dead heat; Biden more qualified than Palin
Posted on Thu, Sep. 11, 2008
WASHINGTON -- John McCain and Barack Obama head into the fall campaign neck and neck, despite questions in many voters' minds about whether McCain's running mate is as qualified as Obama's, according to a new Ipsos/McClatchy poll.
The national poll finds Republican McCain with the support of 46 percent of registered voters and Democrat Obama with 45 percent. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
Independent candidate Ralph Nader has 2 percent, and Libertarian candidate Bob Barr 1 percent. Another 6 percent were undecided or didn't support any of those choices.

METHODOLOGY:
The Ipsos\McClatchy poll was conducted Sept. 5-9, 2008.
For the survey, a nationally representative, randomly selected sample of 1,018 adults across the U.S. was interviewed by Ipsos. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate within ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire U.S. adult population been polled. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population.
Within this sample, Ipsos interviewed 876 respondents who self-identified as registered voters. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate within ±3.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult population in the U.S. been polled. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population.
These data were weighted to ensure the sample's regional and age/sex composition reflects that of the actual U.S. population according to data from the U.S. Census.

Of course, he's looking over his shoulder at the Boston Tea Party, I'm sure.
