This is from George Stephanopoulos' All Too Human. Page 100. Our anxiety peaked on the Thursday before election day. Bush had spent Wednesday barnstorming Ohio by train, and our overnight polls thre showed a drop from seventeen points up to three points down in twenty-four hours. If the same tactic worked in Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin over the weekend, we could actually lose. CNN confirmed our fears by releasing a national poll that showed our overall lead had dropped to a single point, within the margin of error. Even though we suspected that CNN was cooking the results to inject a little excitment into the race, we couldn't be sure.
Obviously, CNN did either cook the results, or they're crappy pollsters. Clinton beat Poppy a mile. I've forgotten the exact results, but I think Clinton had 47 & Poppy was in the 30's. I do know Poppy had the lowest numbers for any incumbants reelection
