These numbers do not include third party candidates. When Barr and Nader are included, the split narrows to 4.2%. No information is available at this time on Green Party super liberal candidate Cynthia MacKinney's effect, but common sense would dictate that she will pull most of her support from the Obama camp and narrow the race even further. And let's not forget about the "Bubba" vote that could siphon off as much as 7% that is not counted now.
