In the middle of October we saw Obama bounce back into the lead, mirroring the bump he got in national polls.

He continued to climb until the end of October, when Romney surged back into a tie with the president.

Then, on Oct. 28, Romney supporters favored our poll, pushing his support to a whopping 80 percent, the highest number we've ever seen in any of our polls for either candidate.

It took a few days for Romney's support to settle back down to normal levels, at least for our polls.

Now Obama' support has settled at a little above 50 percent, much closer to the numbers we see in the national polls. The discrepancy is likely because of our reader's demographics.

Latinos are more likely to support the president, as are internet-users, who tend to be younger than the population as a whole.

Will our polls prove to be prescient in tomorrow's election? We'll see.
