Obama Accelerates Towards the Finish Line in Wisconsin
In an election for President of the United Stated in Wisconsin today, five days until votes are counted, Democrat Barack Obama defeats Republican John McCain 55% to 39%, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WGBA-TV Green Bay, KSTP-TV Minneapolis and WDIO-TV Duluth. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released two weeks ago, Obama is up 3 points; McCain is down 1. Among men, McCain has dropped to 40%, his lowest showing in 3 SurveyUSA tracking polls. If men drift back to McCain before election day, the contest in Wisconsin could be a couple points tighter than this data reflects. Obama has a significant running head start among those who tell SurveyUSA they have already voted. 800 adults interviewed 10/28/08 and 10/29/08. Of them, 741 are registered to vote; of the registered voters, 667 were determined by SurveyUSA to have already voted or to be likely to vote on or before November 4.
