| HappySqurriel said: In the context of the original post, I do think that it is interesting that Obama is leading in national polls while sites like pollster.com and electoral-vote.com show John McCain winning the electoral college. Now I could be wrong, but I suspect this is because Barack Obama is winning in states with low per-capita electoral college votes by a very wide margin, while McCain is winning states with high per-capita electoral college votes by a much smaller margin. |
That is what happened in 2000.
Gore Won NY, CA, Mas, Maryland, Vermont, Illinois and a few others by a HUGE margin, Bush won Ohio, Florida in a VERY close race. Texas was the only big state bush won handily in.
As for Akuma mention of lagging state polls. The battle ground state polls are kept up much better. They are done several times a week.

add me, the more the merrier.
