MSNBC's Hardball falsely suggested McCain holds statistically significant lead over Obama among white suburban women

SUMMARY: On-screen graphics based on an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that aired during MSNBC's Hardball falsely suggested that Sen. John McCain's lead over Sen. Barack Obama among white suburban women is statistically significant because it provided only the poll's margin of error for the overall poll -- not the higher margin of error for the crosstab of white suburban women.
