If I recall correctly, most of the election-eve polling had him 15-20 points ahead of Dole, heading for something like a 55% popular vote victory.
Ultimately, he didn't crack 50%, which was actually a big disappointment for Clinton as he had been hoping strongly to be able to claim a majority of the voters.
This election is where the claim that Zogby was the "most accurate pollster" came from. All the other pollsters had much bigger margins for Clinton, but Zogby nailed it at 49-41 Clinton. Of course, Zogby has done quite a bit to throw that reputation since then.
