It is a poll of likely voters. It is not a poll of registered voters.
In the primary the democrats had double the turnout of the Republicans in OH. Does that mean there are twice as many democrats as republicans in OH and therefore McCain is screwed? No. The two things have nothing to do with each other.
It's not a joke poll just because it shows a drop-off in black support or Republicans may be less likely to vote or you don't like the ultimate result. They're trying to capture a reality, not conform to pre-conceived notions of what you think the polling results should show.
