10. I'd like to know the Margin of Error on this.

I'd also like to know how the call list was generated. Wisconsin has a lot of rural conservative voters with the larger metro areas being where a big chunk of the folks likely to vote Dem live. I really am interested to know if the geographic areas were diverse. I also will say that a lot of phone polling is dependent on landlines rather than cell phones. Older (frequently conservative) voters will have landlines while younger (typically more progressive) voters tend to be people without landlines--CELL PHONE users.

I don't know the Wisconsin vote registration requirements, so it's possible they had access to cell numbers in the calling lists.

I'm not going to get all worried until I find that information.
