And tomorrow, the voting begins — the voting ends.Joining us for our final pre-election snapshot are Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, and Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of the Hotline, National Journal's political daily.We forget the voting has been going on for some time now. So, Andy, as you have been watching the voting going on for all this time, you've come up with a final poll which shows the race tightening just a little bit, but Barack Obama still in the lead. ANDREW KOHUT, President, Pew Research Center: Yes, we have a six-point lead, which is statistically significant, pretty large lead. Other polls have an even larger lead, ones that we watch, the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll eight percent; Gallup has an 11-point lead; and CBS has as much as 13 points.Those are all pretty big numbers. I don't know of a national poll where Obama is behind or it's even even.
