Currenlty(Nov. 2nd) the RCP average is 6.7.

Notice that Bill Clinton won in 1992 by 202 EV's(370 to 168). He won the popular vote by 5.6(close to what the final numbers will look like after the final polls are released).

2. I'd like to see a regression analysis of how many EV's the popular vote can predict
Anyone?
