The polls in the "eleventh hour" are still looking good for President Obama's reelection campaign. 

The Huffington Post reports some projections that gives Obama a 91 percent chance of winning the election if polls fall within previous ranges of polling accuracy.  In other words, Mitt Romney needs an anomaly or a miracle.

Though Obama's only leading by two points or 2.5 points in four keys states, it's hardly accurate to say that the race is neck-and-neck.  Florida and Virginia remain toss-ups, and Romney cannot lose them (Obama's leading slightly in both).  Romney's only leading polls in North Carolina.

We'll know early on about Virginia, barring any muddled vote-count situation.  Once a winner is projected in Virginia, we'll probably be able to tell if Obama can claim victory, or if it'll truly be a close race into the night.
