Colin, the question will be where the 47% is and where the 49% is. Because of the convoluted system under which your president is elected, it is possible (see 2000) for the man with less votes to be president.
Any poll taken has to be considering in context of the electoral college. Unless the survey matched that layout, it wouldn't reflect on the final result.

That's why I said I have no idea, Alex. I was pointing out that the US population is roughly split in their opinion of Bush. Anyone that commits to an opinion of one or the other winning is more guessing than anything else.
And no, the man with less votes cannot win. The states vote, not the people.
