1980-Carter leads Reagan at this point
1984-Mondale leads Reagan at this point
2000-Gore leads Bush at this point
2004-Kerry leads Bush at this point
See a pattern? I could point out that some of those leads were double digit but why rub it in.
RCP (Real Clear Politics) is a compilation of many polls to find an average. Obama leads in VA(13 votes) by less than 1%, less than 2% in Wisconsin (10 votes) and no poll later than 21 August, less than 2% in Florida (29 votes) with a more recent poll...frankly polls don't count until the last week. I defer to Chuck Todd of MSNBC. Last night he triumphantly said that according to the polls the election was over but today he is concerned about the methodology of the polls. I thought the election was over so why is he worried? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
