TIA analysis: June State and National poll results CONFIRM each other. [View All]

[TruthIsAll]

This is interesting. I have calculated the Kerry/Bush popular
vote percentages, based on the latest state polls (mostly
taken in June), weighted by the electoral votes for each
state. And I assumed a 50/50 undecided split. 

The resulting popular vote split is EXACTLY 50.0/50.0. This
confirms the 13-poll June averages (50.6 Kerry/49.4 Bush)
which are adjusted by the same (CONSERVATIVE) 50/50 undecided
split. 

But here's the good news:
1) Kerry will get near 70% of the undecided, based on
historical voting analysis.

2) Even with a VERY conservative 50/50 split in the POPULAR
vote, the electoral vote probability simulation shows that
Kerry has an 80% chance of winning, because the electoral vote
distributions work in his favor (he wins the big states, Bush
has big leads in SMALL states). 

3) With a current 52-48 split in the popular vote,
Kerry/Edwards is beginning to open up daylight and may be
pulling away from Bush. A November landslide is not out of the
question.

Bottom line, the independent analysis of state, national and
Electoral simulation model projections confirm each other.
