Iredell County, Less Republican?

Not a scientific poll by any means but still an interesting sampling of Iredell County voters in Statesville, Mooresville, and Troutman. The reporter felt surprised enough by the outcome to write in her lede, "If a survey conducted ... this week is any indication, John McCain's presidential campaign might be in big trouble."

"Big trouble" partly because Iredell County went for El Presidente Bush by 68 percent in Aught Four (and might again -- who knows?), but the man/woman-on-the-street sampling of the Statesville Record & Landmark found McCain only breaking dead even.
