How much do you think they’ll win their respective (_snicker_) genders by?

> Oof. I wonder if that’s going to drop Obama’s numbers below 70 in the 538 predictions. Anybody who thinks this election is almost a done deal is delusional.

OK. I was one day off. Today we’re under 70% for Obama, both in the national prediction and Ohio prediction according to 538.

the only polls that matter is the 7-Eleven poll, the Nick Kids poll, and the Halloween mask sales. All trending Obama… so pack it up pollsters and go home.

I joke, but really, those 3 polls have better accuracy than almost any poll being run by “experts” today. I do wonder what that says about Americans tho…
