WOW!!!!!!!! Gallup final poll has been AMAZINGLY accurate over the years!!!!! LOOK HERE!
See the graph below. Gallup has not been off more than 4 point any year except the Clinton/Bush/Perot election and it was only off 5 points then!!

We NOW have a 11 point Gallup lead!!!!!

See the chart below!!! This makes me feel like our lead might actually be 10 points! WOW!!!

The last 3 elections it has been off only 2 points!!!

4. also, it is very likely it is closer than what the table indicates.
If those that participated in the polling and did not vote were removed, it would be interesting so see how accurate they truly are.
