I had seen that article, but I wanted to see how far apart the last poll was from the one a couple weeks out, not just the average.
Well, let’s see if we can find it before too long
This poll would have been released about 28 days prior to the election. Only one I have found so far.
According to the chart at bottom Pew finished in the middle of the pack accuracy wise.
Pew Research Center.
“The survey of likely voters conducted between October 4 and October 7 showed Romney taking a 4 percentage edge over Obama – a clear sign of the bounce he received from his strong debate performance last week.” (Romney lost by 3.85%, so this poll a month out was off by almost 8%, BUT they finished high in the accuracy chart I previously posted)
