In case you wanted to compare "metrics"

I can't recall who turned me on to this list but here are some links for those of you who would like to see how different pollsters are vying for the best prediction:

If you know of others who may claim there 'politcal-metric-kung-fu' is best... please feel free to add them here.

Sorry for the minimalist post... but the list sort of speaks for itself.

(Personal note: I despise the statistician gamesmanship associated with this part of our electoral process... I make no claims as to which is "best" if there is such a thing in a world where votes are "liquid" products for political duopoly.)

EDIT TO ADD: Here is a good link if you want to review the historical record on post-ballot-polling.... it is quite interesting: Voting Preferences of the American Electorate, 1980-2008
