Obama takes 37-point lead over McCain

In the world’s first iPhone Election 2008 poll.

Quote:
Using the revolutionary location awareness system built into the iPhone, iVote Mobile is able to relate poll data and subsequent discussions to geographic location on a global, national, regional and local basis. When taking the entire world’s opinion into consideration, iVote users put Obama ahead by 42 points. And while Oklahoma users still have McCain with a slight majority, swing states such as Colorado and Florida remain very close.
Of course, they're not saying what the margin of error is.

Of course, they're not saying what the margin of error is.
Obama currently leads 64% to 32% with 1080 votes tallied.
Amongst iPhone owners, the margin of error is +/- 4%.

You can calculate it yourself. Here is a handy calculator and some useful information on sampling and confidence intervals:

Most people with iphones are too busy writing their latest script at Starbucks to bother voting.
