Let's just put Gallup, with their quote-historical accuracy at predicting the winner of the popular vote-unquote in perspective, here....

October 27,2000: Bush 53% Gore 39%

CNN/Gallup (http://edition.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/10/27/tracking.poll)

Bush 53%
Gore 39%
Nader 4%
Buchanan 1%

"While not a prediction of the voters' choice in November, Friday's results show Bush garnering 52 percent of the vote and Gore drawing 39 percent. The survey of 851 likely voters was conducted October 24-26 and has a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.

A CNN/Time poll also released today gives Bush a 49 percent to 43 percent edge over Gore, which is statistically in agreement with today's CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll, given the polls' margin of sampling error."

Then that means Kerry must really be up, by, what-- 6%?

Your chart is mislabeled. Kerry's running this year not Gore.
