Over sampling urban areas skews polls:

TOM BEVAN | Oct 1 2008

Mike Allen has the goods in his morning Playbook:

McCain pushback on Florida polls: "Our polling shows us up 7. My guess is they over sampled blacks and under sampled Cubans."

McCain pushback on Q-polls: "These polls are laughable. We hope Obama thinks they're true. The national tracking is clear: Some polls have us down 2%, some 4, some as high as 6. How could you have national numbers like that, but have those kinds of numbers in three of the largest, most competitive states in the country? These states are bellwethers because they closely mirror national demographics. Given the volume of campaigning in those states, we expect that they are close to the national track - if not tighter."
