Survey USA: Obama, McCain neck and neck

A Survey USA poll of likely voters shows Barack Obama and John McCain neck and neck in the race to win Ohio.

Obama has 48 percent support to McCain's 46 percent, within the poll's 4 percent margin of error. About 2 percent said they are undecided. 

Obama leads 5 to 3 among those who've already voted while McCain leads 5 to 4 among those who haven't yet voted. The poll was conducted Oct. 30 to Nov. 2. 

"Obama led in the past 3 SurveyUSA tracking polls, but by tapering margins," Survey USA writes. In mid-October, Obama led by 5 points. In late October it was 4 points and now 2 points. 

"It is possible that McCain could overtake Obama in the final 24 hours, but that would require young voters to stay home on Election Day and white voters from Dayton, Cincinnati and along the West Virginia border to show up in larger numbers than they have so far indicated."
