Zobgy/Gallup polls accurate after all? O + 6%
Final result: O 52% - M 46%

And if you do not count the others, Obama wins 53.00% to 47.00% (so far), still +6%

That seems to be pretty close to the average of the Zogby polls over the last week...

Go ahead, I have my fireproof suit.

1. A win is a win is a win.
I'll be content to look at the math later, when all the ballots are counted.

2. Zogby was all over the place -- his last poll predicted a +11 win
Pew was, once again, the most accurate, with Rasmussen a very close second (Rasmussen's consistency this cycle was amazing). Zogby remains the Madam Zelda of pollsters.

3. Zogby adjusts his numbers to reflect the average spread
That was the spread everyone was predicting.

4. Zogby was all over the place
Less than a week ago we can recall him touting his one-day numbers showing McCain +1.

5. Ras and Gallup more accurate, so it seems
Ras today advertized they predicted it right on the money.

I have to admit they did so in 2004.
