Posted by Tom Bevan | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
Pew Research is out with its final pre-election poll. After allocating undecideds nearly evenly between the two candidates, Pew is projecting Obama will finish with 52% of the vote on Tuesday to 46% for John McCain.
Prior to allocating undecideds, Pew reported its final survey results as follows:
Barack Obama holds a significant lead over John McCain in the final days of Campaign 2008. The Pew Research Center's final pre-election poll of 2,587 likely voters, conducted Oct. 29-Nov. 1, finds 49% supporting or leaning to Obama, compared with 42% for McCain; minor party candidates draw 2%, and 7% are undecided.
This represents an 8-point move towards McCain from Pew's survey released five days ago showing Obama with a 15-point lead over McCain among likely voters, 53 to 38, as compared to today's 7-point margin, 49 to 42.
Overall, Obama leads in the RCP National Average by 6.4%.
