The chart at the left shows the distribution of electoral votes based on statewide polls. The colors represent the gap in the poll. The darker the color, the larger the gap. 50% +1 or 270 Electoral votes are needed to win, out of a possible 538.
This site is really designed to be used along with Electoral-Vote.com. I provide one useful way to interpret the data, but without the information that is provided at that site, you won't get as much use from this chart.
For a complete explanation of the methodology used, see the Electoral-Vote.com polling FAQ. The raw data used to generate the chart is also available there. Please note that other than using the data that they make available, this site is not affiliated with Electoral-vote.com

Could you include the current split in addition to the >5 and >10 lines?
Hi Frank,
Not sure I understand you request. Can you expand? If you're just wanting to see the current EV total without factoring in people switching sides, that info is available at www.electoral-vote.com. Since I do the update manually before I leave for work each morning, I want to keep the duplicated work to a minimum. You can also see todays numbers in the right column box labeled "Poll Data from Electoral-Vote.com", which is dynamically updated as soon as he updates his site (usually several hours before I update mine unless I'm up late).
