So the pollsters were right. fivethirtyeight, real clear politics, electoral-vote

[davepc]

all were VERY good predictors of the outcome using the aggregate data of zogby, gallup, quinnipiac. SUSA, Pew, etc

1. And Mason-Dison was wrong in NC and OH and had PA too close... nt

[HughMoran]

3. Yep, I give Mason-Dixon a low C grade, the others B's & A's

Some of the in-state pollsters were impressive too - UNH nailed Obama's win for instance (assuming it stays about the same).

4. Mason-Dixon are big losers among pollsters.

Daily Kos's daily tracker, much maligned by wingnuts, is going to come very close to the final margin. They had Obama winning 51-46.

[HughMoran]

2. Yep. I was just marvelling at the accuracy of the averages

Some of the individual pollsters weren't so keen, but the average was close in all but Georgia.

5. Georgia has a lot of outstanding votes that have not yet been counted.

7. Sorry this is off-topic but

I was wondering if any of you think Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com has similar voice to Harold Ford, Jr. ?
