Deletion of Statewide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2008

Comment: The "usefulness" argument for deletion is bogus and not based on Wikipedia deletion policies. But in fact state level opinion polling is the basis for a candidate giving up in a state and withdrawing resources, as McCain recently did in Michigan, or for their making extra appearances in and running more TV ads in a state which polls show to be a battleground, or a state they thought was solidly in their column, but which polls show their lead to be diminishing in. The real issue is |notability, which is demonstrated by substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources of state level polling. And notability is not temporary, so if the 2008 state polls are notable now, their notability will continue
