Somebody alerted me to an interesting electoral poll website. This guy is combining lots of individual state polls to predict the outcome of each state, and projecting that into a total electoral vote prediction. I’m not a statistician, so I don’t know how valid this kind of process is, but it’s interesting. I guess the most obvious problem is that so many states are so close that a small polling error can throw the state the other way and make a big difference in the totals. Regardless of its accuracy, or lack thereof, it’s an interesting source of information (and humor), and I think I’ll be keeping an eye on it for the next couple of weeks.
