Election Forecast Summaries: 10/30 (afternoon)

From now until the election I'll post once or twice a day with these summaries. "p(RE)" means "probability of re-election," although I've now gone to a standard percentage-based unit. "unch" means unchanged from last report.

[font color="blue"]
Votamatic: O 332 (unch)

University of Illinois U-C: O 291.4 (unch); p(RE)=94.9% (unch)

Electoral-vote.com: O 280, R 235, T 23 (unch)

Huffington Post: O 277, R 191, T 70 (unch)

FiveThirtyEight: O 294.6 (unch); p(RE)=72.9% (unch)

Princeton: O 303 (unch); p(RE)=93%, 98% (+3%, +1%)

DeSart/Holbrook: O 281 (unch); p(RE)=86.66% (-0.16%)[/font]
[font color="red"]
...And Just For Laughs, UnSkewedPolls: O 179, R 359 (unch from 10/25) [/font] which means my bet with Dean Chambers is presently worth $2,312.00.
