Barack Obama
Related: About this forumNate Silver's daily forecast. 8/4 President Obama 71% Romney 29% chance of winning.
Go here to see how Silver's daily forcast looks like. Everyday he makes adjustments based on S & P 500, unemployment, new polls, etc. He breaks it down state by state so it reflects the Electoral College.

You have two tabs to choose from, what he is estimating Nov. 6 will look like and what would happen if the election were held today.
If it were held today then the numbers go up even more for the President 75/25.

Silver uses a deep statistical background on each state's historical voting record.

I don't think any of the polls really matter, until around September, and after the debates take place...
Having said that, it's nice to see Obama ahead in all of them!

He also has a very convincing well documented argument on why the President's numbers are almost certainly under reported by a couple of points.
