In the presidential contest, the numbers showed McCain leading Obama 46 to 33 percent. In the Senate battle, Wicker has 45 percent of the vote, compared with 32 percent for Musgrove. But one outside observer questioned the findings because about one-third of black voters said they are undecided, backing a lesser-known candidate or refused to answer. In reality, the vast majority of black Mississippi voters will cast ballots for Obama and Musgrove in the Nov. 4 general election, said David Bositis, senior political analyst at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank that focuses on black issues. Other surveys have registered a much tighter Senate race. Musgrove campaign spokesman Adam Bozzi said the Press-Register findings do not reflect the results of both internal campaign and public polls showing the contest to be within a percentage point or two in either direction. At the Wicker campaign, spokesman Ryan Annison said, "There will be lots of polls between now and Nov. 4. ... We are confident Senator Wicker will win." In both races, more than one out of five Mississippi respondents overall said they were undecided, were supporting other candidates or would not answer. USA Polling Group Director Keith Nicholls attributed that relatively high percentage in part to ambivalence about the candidates.
