I don't think you can do a daily update with this site ... The newest polls are for Minnesota and Ohio on September 2nd, with the vast majority of the polls being back in the middle of August; with some as far back as July.

erm....it's a tracking site. There's going to be a delay while they compile data...just like here at VGC.
And I'm just reporting the numbers on this particular site. If you want to debate its veracity...that's cool...but I don't see a problem with posting periodic updates.
Cool, North Dakota shifted. I wonder how many people tuned in for McCain's speech and how much of a permanent bump he will get in the next few days.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Texas is fading. That's surprising. :o

I don't see a problem with periodic updates, but I think that it should be based on something changing with a clear explaination of what changed and why. For example:
North Dakota From: 45% McCain-42% Obama (Jul 21 to Jul 23) To: 43% Obama-40% McCain (Aug 23 to Aug 27)
This is an interesting switch because Obama was up 1% and McCain was down 5% in the middle of the Democratic Convention.
In the 2004 election, Electoral-Vote was very accurate. Just remember that these polls are only worth their margin of error, so if Ohio is 51% for Obama and 49% for McCain with an error of 5%, the poll tells you nothing about who is truly ahead.

Wow...there are so many of these sites this time around.
Last election elector-vote is the only one I could find.
As of September 9th, 2008.
Obama: 281 (-20) McCain: 230 (+6) Tie: 27 (+14)
I'd expect the map to get a little more red in the coming weeks as the polls from the Palin/RNC bounce keep coming in. But I'm not sure how much of that bounce will be retained by the time the debates roll around.
Texas and Georgia are pretty suprising. NC flipping blue would be very intresting.
