Note: Polls are based on past behavior. Thus in an election that is attracting large numbers of new or normally inactive voters, polls may be off by an unusual amount. In the primaries, for example, even the best polls were off by 2-4 points more than statistical error. If there is a high turnout in the general election, it would not be surprising for Obama to receive three or more points more than polls currently indicate. On the other hand, polls may be off in some states and not in others. The overall Progressive Review rolling average for the primaries was off by 6 points, but if you remove the three worst averages out of 34 races, the results were off by a statistically comfortable four points.
