I would also look at where they polled. I know that part of North Dakota, and depending on what town, and part thereof they polled, its possible that you can get very widely differing results. For instance Grand Forks is fairly liberal near NDSU but very conservative in the rest of the town. Depending on what percentage of either you hit , you'll get very different results.
