Two Pollsters give Obama 260 EV
Two pollsters give Obama 260 EV. My guess is that he will end up with over 300 EV.


From Pollster:
Obama 260 McCain 176 Toss-up 102

From Zogby:
Obama 260 McCain 173 Toss-up 105

2. 538.com gives him 284 EV -- it combines polls over time weighting them based on
how accurate they've been in past. It is an excellent site.

6. How much of this is to deflate the Dems and prop up GOPS going into conventions?
