What are the best poll sites?

Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 02:49 PM by dogindia

the few I have are:

http://www.pollster.com/
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/map/polling/
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/
http://www.npr.org/news/specials/election2008/2008-election-map.html?ps=bb1

here is the new york times with a state by state click to see latest. seems to work well and they have Obama at 291

http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/president/whos-ahead/key-states/map.html

are there any others that make sense to you all?

6. I often go to realclearpolitics, electoral-vote.com, and pollster.com

Anyone know why realclearpolitics.com is listed as leaning right?

7. My bookmarks include...

FiveThirtyEight.com - the best, I think

RealClearPolitics.com - sometimes accused of leaning right, but they're consistent so it's useful. They have a companion site RealClearMarkets that's worthwhile for trying to figure out what's going on in the economy, too.

Electoral-Vote.com - I like The VoteMaster's commentary, and they have good maps.

Pollster.com - more conservative predictions (not politically conservative; statistically conservative)

Those are the four I cruise whenever some big 'Holy Crap, the sky is falling thread starts up. You can see and compare all the major polling organizations very easily and see who's an outlier.
