Wow, the LAT got 60%? I know 20% (the Schwarzenegger vote predictions) was always wrong, and many FReepers recognized that, but I didn't know their results on the other four questions were so (relatively) accurate.

If someone analyzed the actual error (instead of categorizing right/wrong), the LAT probably would not be in the top two, since their Schwarzenegger predictions were very far from the actual results.

Thanks for summarizing the results and sharing with us all!

Some polls allowed for an "undecided" category, while some may have pushed the respondents to choose yes/no or to tell their preference in the candidate question. I don't know what effect on the accuracy removing the undecideds might have.
