All 2008 and 2004 IBD/TIPP poll results plotted here:

Looks like TIPP allocated about half of the remaining undecideds, breaking 2 for 1 in favor of Obama.

I think that's incorrect, but we'll know for sure in about 12 hours.

Crud. Wasn’t this the most accurate poll of 2004? Oh well, another one to be proven wrong today.

Doesn’t look good, but possibly a popular vote loss, electoral win.

probably just a pipe dream.

According to the internals Obama loses both the Protestant and Catholic vote, but wins the election.

Uh, this poll is screwed up. They have Osama Hussein winning the South 46 to 44. Nonsense.

The Polls mean NOTHING without turnout.

If Christian value voters and conservatives turn out in droves, Palin-McCain wins.

Why would they give %4 of the undecideds to o and %1.9 to McCain? They just overtly skewed their own results on a random biased guess.

The whole internals of that are screwed, just look at it, total mess, Obama is not getting 71% of the jewish vote either, neither is he winning the south.

Its also perceiving Obama taking 7% repubs and McCain only 6% Dems, lol, the pumas alone are more than that.

I smell bullsheeeeeeeeeet.

The 4.2% represents “other” not undecided. They seem to have allocated the undecideds somehow. BO only tops 50% when the undecideds are forced into a category.
