This map provides a state-by-state overview of the current polling. States for which we are currently at least 95% confident in the outcome are considered “safe states” and are colored in the darkest color. States for which we are less confident in the outcome are more lightly colored (proportionally) based on the direction in which they are currently leaning (either towards Obama, or towards McCain). States which we currently view as tied are colored in white. Those states which are currently polling for Obama are colored in blue, and those for McCain are colored in red.
There are also three interactive (Java applet) versions of this map:
- With current polling data
- With a +2% boost for Barack Obama in each state
- With a +2% boost for John McCain in each state
Special thanks to Drew Thaler for developing these maps.
