Tracking the candidates in the only polls that matter... The statewide polls.
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

Aaaah. FInally, we're almost a month into the Obama era. :-)
Thanks for all your work, Poll Junkie, and the gracious way you dealt with commenters, especially late in the campaign.
I kept thinking you might post something else, but I think there was a great sense of relief and change of consciousness at the moment of the election victory. It was like leaving a room and entering another one.
I just stumbled onto a blog i thought you might be interested in http://i-ocean.blogspot.com/ There's a promising collection of links in the left sidebar feed. That, combined with John "McNasty" McCain appearing on TV reminded me of EVStrength.
Best of luck in your future blogging and Excel-like ventures. I hope you link from this blog, from your Google ID, or that you revive this site if you don't preserve it.
Ya, know.. I always meant to post something more, but after spending way too many hours on this during the election season, I got kinda burnt out for a couple of weeks. By the time I was inspired to post more, I figured no one was reading the blog anymore. I'm still as opinionated as ever, so I might start up again at some point.
One way or another, this site definitely won't be going away. If nothing else I start it up during the next presidential campaign, which I expect will start sometime next week. Any ideas on who will declare for the Repubs yet? Other than Palin, of course.
Thanks for the link. Looks like it has some useful information.
