The Electoral College Poll has once again placed Florida in a tie status, along with North Dakota. Their summary shows 337 votes for Obama, 171 for McCain and 30 tie votes. Here's a quick breakdown of the status of the votes as of today...

Strong Dem... 260
Strong Rep.... 134

Weak Dem... 26
Weak Rep.... 23

Barely Dem... 51
Barely Rep.... 14

Exactly Tied... 30

If Obama wins either Missouri (11 votes) or North Carolina (15 votes), it will take him over the 270 vote level to win the election. If Obama wins all the votes in the states currently weak and barely Democrat, and McCain wins all the votes in states currently showing weak and barely Republican, and all ties go to McCain... Obama wins the election 337-201.

Easily one of Obama's best days in the polls to date. There were a lot of polls today and everyone is good news for Obama. This election is headed towards one of the most lopsided elections in presidential history. We may have seen the end of negative campaigning.

Palin's comments about "Real America" combined with Colin Powell's endorsement has fueled Obama's latest surge in the polls.
