1. Insider Advantage ended up being the best in Indiana

I'd give PPP the best overall grade, because Zogby had Obama winning by two, which is still pretty much MOE. PPP had her up 51-46 and closing in Indiana, and up 53-43 in NC

4. You're right in that of those who had her winning IN, they were the closet

Although zogby did well in terms of total point differential (+2) even though he had obama winning, depends how you want to look at it, and as mentioned before, they were pretty off in NC, while zogby was right on the money (maybe he's getting his mojo back finally, lol)

7. It Depends How You Look At It

Is it more important to be within the MOE or pick the winner...

I remember sitting in a bar, probably before you were born, watching Larry Holmes and Ken Norton fightfor the heavyweight title... There was a "pot" with about $200.00 in it... You had to pick the winner and round...Most folks picked Holmes to stop Norton... I bet on Norton to win via decision...He lost via decision but I thought I came a lot closer than those who said he would lose via a KO or a TKO...But I did pick the loser...

But, yeah, Obama overperformed last night...

3. Zogby seems to be doing well.. after the whole NH debacle..

They were within 1 in NC, and 4 in IN. You have to wonder where some of these people get their poll numbers from though - wow.

5. Zogby was spot on in NC and had Obama up by 2 in Indiana but with 8% undecided

so well within the moe. So he did pretty well this time. Survey USA sucked on both Indiana and NC

6. One thing we know is that Obama's team had good internals; that is why he campaigned in IN so much

Some were wondering if he was ignoring NC too much. I guess his team knew what he was doing.
