It's nice to see Mike ahead of everyone else, though he may not be leading given that the last question has Obama up only 47-46 instead of 53-46. Of course, even if 53% of those surveyed did vote for Obama, that doesn't guarantee that he'd be leading now.

"Who did you vote for President in 2008?

Obama: 47%
McCain: 46%"

Are people lying or is it a bad sample or both?


People lie all the time on questions like that.  Six months into 1993, the %age of people who admitted in polls that they voted for Bill Clinton was notably down from the real #, because he was unpopular.  When the president is unpopular, people don't admit to voting for him, even in an anonymous poll.


Ah, so that's why. I wouldn't worry about that question, then.
