There are a few out there but the newest one to add to my list is Survey USA. A poll conducted in Iowa by them shows McCain leading Obama 55% to 45% among what group of people..............African Americans of course. Yes, according to Survey USA black people prefer mccain by 10 points in Iowa. I would be suprised if McCain even has support of 10% of black people, let alone leading by 10 points. Yes, i think not listening to Survey USA is a good idea from now on.

This is the problem with small poll samples. There are a total of 528 respondants, while black voters account for 2% of the sample. That's 11 people.
The overall margin of error is 5.8% -- for a sample of 528. It's been a long time since I took baby stats, but I'd guess a sample of 11 is going to have a margin more like 30%.
