I love our President

Which has been the case for the entire race. It suggests Republicans are more likely to turn out than Democrats and it fits with the idea there is still an enthusiasm gap. Either all these polls are getting their LV models wrong or there are Democrats who just aren't going to vote either because they think Obama will win or they don't care if he wins.

"It suggests Republicans are more likely to turn out than Democrats and it fits with the idea there is still an enthusiasm "

...that most of the recent polls have shown Democratic enthusiasm up and over that of Republicans, who in some polls have shown a drop.
