Has ANYBODY on a national level ever overcome a 10 point deficit just before election day?

Most polls this weekend have them to close to call. i was just looking over at real clear politics to get the latest poll for Missouri and McCain is now leading in MO he has been trailing for weeks now. Missouri has picked the winning candidate for over the last 100 years. so On election night i'll be watching who won in MO and see if the tradition holds up again this time.
And yes a candidate has been down 10 points in the polls and came back to win. G.W. Bush was the last candidate to do it, if i'm not mistaken.

I wasn't trying to say that the race was over by showing the polls. One of the previous posters had asked for prove that it was a close race and I provided it. I most certainly believe that the race isn't over and that things are actually moving in McCain's favor.

This past weekend I took a trip down to Baton Rouge, LA to see the LSU/Tulane football game. I could count the number of Obama/Biden signs and stickers on one hand. Saw more McCain/Palin stuff than I could count. This was a 5 hour road trip through three different states, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
I think the polls are skewed and skewed badly.

Come to Florida and it's Obama everywhere. Of course I live in Orlando, usually urban areas swing Democratic. From what I hear from my family in New York its the same (to be expected).
