The only numbers that will matter Tuesday night are the Electoral
College
results. One of the candidates will need 270 votes to be elected.
Polling
in each state shows that John Kerry will have the votes to be elected
president. See http://www.electoral-vote.com/.


Correction:
Polling in each state shows that George Bush will have the votes to be
elected President.

See: http://www.electionprojection.com

Your site uses a single poll to project the winner...and he seems to
arbitrarily pick the most favorable poll for Kerry. For instance,
today's Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen polls showed Bush ahead in Florida by 4
points and 1 point, respectively. Zogby shows Kerry up 2. Who does the
webmaster of electoral-vote.com give Florida to? Kerry...based solely on
Zogby's poll.

www.electionprojection.com uses an average of the major polls. So does
www.realclearpolitics.com ...and if you take an average of the major
polls, Bush is leading in the popular vote *and* the Electoral College.

In fact, if you look at the electoral-vote.com site where he uses
*averaged* data, you'll see that Bush is leading even at
electoral-vote.com.

It looks like the polling groups are 'assigning' undetermined voters to
each canidate according to who they think they are goinig to break
for....I heard one poll was as much as 9-1 in favor of
kerry...................it is no wonder there is such a wide swing in the
polls..............

Yes, Gallup took the undecideds and chose to divvy them up 9 to 1 in Kerry's
favor.

Pew split them up evenly. That's why Gallup shows a tie, and Pew shows Bush
up 3 points.

I guess it's safe to say that even in the worst case scenario, the polls are
tied...but in the more likely scenario, Bush is up 3 points. If undecideds
break to Bush, then Bush could be up as high as 4 or 5 points.
