November 4, 2008 US Presidential Election: Final Polls

Here are the latest and final presidential tracking numbers for three of the most objective and most often quoted polls going into the 2008 US Presidential Elections, among likely voters. 

Gallup's final poll:


Obama 53%, Mccain 42%


Zogby's latest poll:

Obama 51%, McCain 44%

John Zogby:

"Barack Obama is where he needs to be and John McCain is not. In a multi-candidate race, assuming the minor candidates can win around 2%, 51% can win. Obama holds the groups that he needs and continues to hold a big lead among independents and his base. McCain seems to be holding his base without expanding it or moving into Obama's territory."

The new Washington Post-ABC News poll:

Obama 53%, Mccain 44%
