I think polls were quite accurate this time around, obama won by more than 5% leverage in popular vote, but i give it to ya about bradley effect

and about polls on electoral votes, well obama beat the most optimistic electoral vote poll (RCP) by almost 30 votes!!! 311 was the number on their site few days b4 the election, reduced to 278 solid on election eve, he won like 340

EDIT: make that 350 and 53% to 46% on popular vote, lets see 7% ahead. that would confirm a 9-10% leverage in polls with 2-3% error margin on most polls
