Florida’s neck-and-neck down to the wire in the last Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state prior to Election Day.

John McCain leads Barack Obama by a statistically insignificant single percentage point, 50% to 49%. One percent of voters are still undecided.

In the three previous weeks, the lead has changed each time. Just one week ago, Obama was ahead by four points. The week before that it was McCain ahead by one. But this is the first time McCain has made it into the 50s since the middle of September.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of those who have already voted cast their ballots for Obama, 44% for McCain. Nationwide, Rasmussen Reports polling suggests as many as 37% of voters may cast their ballot before tomorrow.

1. So... if it draws on election day
Obama wins because he banked on early voting? Right?

3. Rasmussen is off this year. It's the cell phone factor.
Check out 538.com for some incredible graphs showing the difference in polling between those polls that include cell phone users and those that do not. Rasmussen is one of those polls that does not poll cell phone users. Think about how many cell phone users in the Miami-Dade County area aren't being factored in.

6. This may sound nasty BUT
If the majority of Repugs will be voting tomorrow, Dems ( who have voted early) should go stand in line, then return to the end when they reach the front.

7. Interesting stuff...
Ordinarily, when 37% of the votes are in...the final pattern has already emerged and will not change too much. Will there be much of a difference between the early voting and tomorrow's voting? I know what the "horse racers" will say.
