I've always had a problem with using only final polls. You need to evaluate all their polling - you'll just have to compare with other polls with similar timestamps to correct for actual changes in the race.

There should be 1 examination using only the final polls from each pollster and those should not be older than 1 week before election day.

Another examination should focus how the different pollsters did before that 1 week timespan.
This.
