The above chart is the Pollster.com national polling average heading into Tuesday’s election day. Barack Obama heads into Election Day polling well above 50% and expanding his advantage in the national polls.
With the final Virginia polling coming in, Barack Obama also goes into Election Day in the state of Virginia holding steady above 50% in the Pollster.com polling average. The Virginia polling is real bad news for John McCain and the Republicans. The news is so bad for Republicans that my local congressman, Frank Wolf, is running as an "independent" politician and a "centrist". He makes no mention of being a Republican in his ads, nor does he mention John McCain.
To reinforce these numbers, I just received the following email from Gallup:
The final USA Today/Gallup 2008 pre-election poll predicts Barack Obama will be elected the 44th president of the United States, as he holds a 55% to 44% advantage over John McCain in the allocated estimate of the 2008 presidential vote.
On their website Gallup offers more detail:
PRINCETON, NJ — The final Gallup 2008 pre-election poll — based on Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Gallup Poll Daily tracking — shows Barack Obama with a 53% to 42% advantage over John McCain among likely voters. When undecided voters are allocated proportionately to the two candidates to better approximate the actual vote, the estimate becomes 55% for Obama to 44% for McCain.
The trend data clearly show Obama ending the campaign with an upward movement in support, with eight to 11 percentage point leads among likely voters in Gallup’s last four reports of data extending back to Oct. 28. Obama’s final leads among both registered voters and likely voters are the largest of the campaign.
It has been a long campaign. Only one more day of campaigning to go. The polling is nearly over. On Tuesday, America chooses.
