After all the emotional ups and downs it’s given our readers over the last few months, here is the final Gallup tracking poll, traditional-model edition (the new model produces exactly the same result).

Other national polls are showing the same thing:

FOX NEWS: Obama 50, McCain 43.

MARIST COLLEGE: Obama 53, McCain 44.

NBC/WSJ: Obama 51, McCain 43.

But, as I’ve been trying to remind people all along: the national polls matter a lot less than the state polls. Those, as almost always, are looking very good for Obama.

But how are YOU feeling? Take the poll below and let us know what your mood is a day before the biggest election ever!

  1. Let it be noted (and this sounds pretty messed up) I’m not crapping my pants in a bad way. It’s more of a cautiously-optimistic-yet-very-anxious-and-shaky kind of pants-crapping.

  3. Zogby had Obama ahead, earlier today, with 311 electoral votes, to McCain’s 147.

    Only three states were in the ‘Undecided’ column: one was Florida, where it was said to be “too close to call”.

    The other two were Missouri, where Obama is slightly ahead, and North Carolina, where McCain is slightly ahead.

    It’s gonna be interesting.

  4. I’m a Canadian, and it’s killing me….no offense to readers of this blog (who are clearly not of whom I speak), but you guys down there were dumb enough to vote in Dubya not once, but twice. Your recent track record is not so hot…and no matter what the polls say, your fellow countrymen are just a big enough bunch of morons to vote yet again for the old, white guy.

    We are all feverently praying that smarter, less God fearin’, less Joe Six-Packish heads prevail, and you get the leader the USA, and the world, desperately needs…godspeed and good luck.

    And if anyone under the age of 30, (who has not signed any sort of purity vow), doesn’t vote, I’m coming down there in my dogsled to beat your ass with my hockey stick.

  5. Just for the record Canadian, Dumbya did not win the popular vote in either 2000 or 2004, it’s just that we have a screwey election system, some corrupt officials in places like Florida and a phenomena known as vote-caging.

    Sure there were a great many dumbasses who did vote against their own best interest (Republican) for which there is no easy explanation except maybe the failure of public education and misinformation (Fox “news” & right-wingnut talk radio).
