Yes, and can we admit that the Democratic advantage in party identification from 2008 was largely preserved?
Or did the exit polls and the election also "oversample Democrats"? -

I'd like to point out one other hugely significant datum: The Ipsos/Reuters online poll was very close to tracking the results correctly, far far closer than any other online poll has ever come. The difficulties of random sampling via online polling seem to have been overcome, which is a HUGE achievement, and likely means we can stop worrying about landlines or cell phones now.

The RAND tracking poll was an interesting experiment that ended up pretty on-target. They tracked the same 3500 voters over the course of the year rather than calling different people. Their final result was Obama 49%-Romney 46%, so they called the two-candidate victory margin accurately.

DrunkNateSilver predicted Asher would gloat about me!“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
