Interesting Statistic, Though Probably Meaningless

Gallup has conducted a poll of early voters. It's estimated that about 9% of the total vote has already been cast through early voting or absentee voting, and the results so far - 51% Bush, 47% Kerry. The get-out-the-vote efforts on the part of both campaigns is in full swing, and the Republicans have a 96 hour effort planned that was very effective in 2002 - totally blew most of the pollsters away.
