McCain was leading in every poll up until the next election. Maybe they stood home or were lying or something else, no idea. In 2012 Romney won by 11 points. 2008 is very strange. Maybe Republicans tried to take votes away from Democrats there electronically, and accidentally made a mistake against their favor.
