It gets sillier and sillier every day. This Presidential Election is impossible to predict because the polls don't have a consistent trend to one side or the other. Add to that the interruption by Super Storm Sandy which caused two tracking organizations to suspend polling for at least 2 days, and we may not have a conventional "Final" poll next Monday. Gallup uses 7 days, and will either have a Wed-Sun mix, or Sun-Mon-Wed-Sun final poll. Investor's Business Daily suspended for 3 days, and so could have a final 4 day poll, but not a track.
So with that, much speculation has occured on a split Popular/Electoral verdict, with the Right arguing why the National Polls are the trend, and the Left touting the state polls as disproving the National Polls.
I do have to credit Obama partisan Joe Klein with a level-head approach: anyone who claims to know who is going to win is blowing smoke.
In the meantime, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and yes Minnesota apparently are getting more spotlight from the campaigns. Stay tuned...
