Tell me again why Gallup has the race tightening? These were conducted before the debate:
| Gallup Tracking (Traditional)* | 10/13 - 10/15 | 49 | 47 | Obama +2 | |
| Gallup Tracking (Expanded)* | 10/13 - 10/15 | 51 | 45 | Obama +6 |
Of course, the electoral numbers are fantastic:
As we've done on the sixteenth of every month since June, FiveThirtyEight presents the our final update of battleground states, now a mere 19 days before the election. It is not a pretty scene for John McCain. For Barack Obama, the view looks pretty sweet.
Senator Barack Obama now holds states totaling 286 electoral votes outside the battleground zone. We project 78 more electoral votes to go blue on Election Night, for a total of 364 in Obama's column. West Virginia's 5 votes are pure tossup, and states totaling 169 electoral votes for Senator John McCain.
