Overview of the Election from Gallup

The Gallup Poll provides a brief overview of the election. Key points:

- Democrats have a "structural" election advantage.
- Turnout will be a key factor.
- Pattern of candidate support is similar to 2000 and 2004 elections.
- Top voter issue this year is the economy. Gas prices, Iraq, healthcare, and terrorism remain important.
