Many of the Obama supporters are young people -- who, historically,
don't go to the polling booth in large numbers.

Also, there are things like the article below to keep in mind...

Early poll gives Kerry the edge in final debate

Thursday, October 14, 2004

According to a poll taken after the debate, Sen. John Kerry had more
reason to smile.

TEMPE, Arizona (CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry appeared to gain more momentum
heading toward November 2, easily beating President Bush in the third
and final debate, a poll taken late Wednesday night suggests.

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup snap poll taken immediately after the
presidential debate found that respondents gave a significant edge to
Kerry over Bush, 52 percent to 39 percent.

The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

The numbers were similar to the results of a poll taken the night of
the first debate September 30 in Miami, Florida. That night Kerry was
favored by a 53 percent to 37 percent margin.
