38. Its a very divided country

I wouldn't necessarily dismiss these polls right now. Consider that in 2008, under the best conditions possible for a Democrat, Obama got 52.9% of the popular vote. I'm certain it'll be even closer this time around, but fortunately for us this isn't a popularity contest, and the Electoral College still looks great for the Pres.
