Obama Ahead in Early Voting

Poster at obamaartreport.com
Electoral-Vote: SurveyUSA is polling in states where voting has already started. One of the questions it is now asking is: "Have you already voted?" If the answer is yes, it then asks: "For whom?" For five states, the results are given below. In Ohio, for example, 12% of the people polled have already voted and they broke for Obama 57% to 39%. Please remember, the early voters may not be representative of the state as a whole and the normal sampling noise applies here in spades because the number of early voters polled in Ohio was only about 60. So take these numbers with a barrel of salt. See the chart.
Survey USA, by the way, is one of the most accurate pollsters, so when you look at state polling, pay mind to Survey USA. Another thing, Electoral-Vote always has great information on the election as well as the latest electoral map, which is looking mighty fine.
