Hmmm... possible "concern troll" here.

Nevertheless... there are a couple of things to consider:

  1. The final polls on Monday will likely show a tighter race. The pollsters will want to be within the margin of error for their credibility. Nevertheless, they still will, as they always do, overestimate Democrat support (but trying to keep it within MOE, at least).
  2. Turnout models -- the "horserace" numbers are hogwash because they're making unsupported assumptions as to party ID on turnout. There is no historical or current basis to be sampling Democrats in the +6 to +15 range that these polls are using.
