Election 2008: North Dakota Presidential Election
North Dakota: McCain and Obama Tied


North Dakota is as safe a Republican state as any in Presidential elections. George W. Bush carried the state by twenty-seven points in Election 2004 and twenty-eight points four years earlier. The state has voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate just once since 1932 and twice since 1916.

Despite that history, John McCain and Barack Obama are tied in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of North Dakota voters. Both men earn 43% of the vote. When leaners are included, McCain holds a statistically insignificant one-point advantage, 47% to 46%. Last week, a Rasmussen Reports survey showed Obama with a five-point advantage in neighboring Montana. That state, too, has a long history of voting Republican at the Presidential level but both states also have two Democratic U.S. Senators. McCain is returning the favor by running much stronger than recent Republicans in New Jersey.

2. Re: McCain and New Jersey

I'm fairly certain that people in NJ deliberately mislead the pollsters. Every four years the polls show the Repubs doing well. Then they get stomped on election day. Strangely, neither the pollsters nor the GOP seem to catch on. :dunce:
