This is a Website that any political junkie should be familiar with - Electoral Vote Predictor.

This is a site, with an easy to use map of the US (above is a screen shot for an example), which will keep you on top of all the latest polls, and predictions based on those polls.

He isn't perfect - he predicted the electoral count to be Kerry 281, Bush 257 in the last election. But, he was only a few states off - New Mexico went to Bush, as did Florida and Iowa, all three by slim margins. Otherwise, he was on the money.

The best part about the site is that it's run in a noticeably non-partisan way. He simply reports the polls from the biggies (Zogby, Gallup and Quinnipiac University, among others) as well as smaller, state-wide polls. There will be a literal avalanche of information leading up to the primaries, and into the general election.

The site really made following the race in '04 much more enjoyable, as well as '06 (I linked to his site in '06 and will again in '08, in prominent fashion).

Anyway, I was searching for a few poll numbers the other day, and I went back to his site to poke around, since I hadn't been there in quite some time.

Bookmark it now - you'll be happy you did later on in the race. The closer we get to the primaries, the more information you'll find. Starting this fall, when the primary races really start heating up, he'll have updates every day.
