Obama ahead by 2 in North Dakota!

[catgirl]

Public Affairs Institute of Minnesota State University Moorhead:

Barack Obama is shown with an edge against John McCain in a North Dakota presidential race that has narrowed to a statistical tie, according to a new Forum poll.

The survey shows Obama squeaking past McCain, 45 percent to 43 percent, a lead that falls within the poll’s margin of error and therefore indicates a dead heat, according to political analysts.

Still up for grabs: undecided voters, comprising 12 percent.

“It’s a statistical tossup,” said Jim Danielson, co-director of the Public Affairs Institute at Minnesota State University Moorhead, which conducted the statewide telephone survey for The Forum. Pollsters contacted 606 likely North Dakota voters by telephone Oct. 6-8.

4. I don't really buy it until confirmed by more polls - just like WV.

I don't know if Obama had pulled out of ND when he had a real chance.

but to make McCain spend time and money in a "safe" state is a great thing.
