Election Forecast Summaries: 11/2 (afternoon)

I have volunteered with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to be a poll monitor on election day. Since it is unlikely I will be in my own precinct on that day, I went to City Hall today and, for the first time in my life, voted absentee.

Anyone know where I can find the "I Voted" avatar?


From now until the election I'll post once or twice a day with these summaries. "p(RE)" means "probability of re-election," although I've now gone to a standard percentage-based unit. "unch" means unchanged from last report.

[font color="blue"]
Election Projection: O 290 (unch)

University of Illinois U-C: O 300. (+3.4); p(RE)=99.6% (+0.2%)

Electoral-vote.com: O 281, R 215, T 42 (unch)

Huffington Post: O 281, R 191, T 66 (O+22, R+0, T-22)

TPM/PollTracker: O 285, R 191, T 62 (unch)

FiveThirtyEight: O 303.4 (unch); p(RE)=80.9% (unch)

Princeton: O 319 (O+1); p(RE)=97%, 99.5% (+0, +0.2%)

DeSart/Holbrook: O 281 (unch); p(RE)=87.05% (unch)[/font]
[font color="red"]
...And Just For Laughs, UnSkewedPolls: O 179, R 359 (unch from 10/25) [/font] which means my bet with Dean Chambers is presently worth $2,488!
