25. All electoral vote does is take the very last poll released
regardless of the pollster. It's a fun site, but I wouldn't take it that seriously.

I prefer the other sites like RCP because they use averages. For example, the WV poll is by ARG, which has a spotty record this year. That same batch of polls showed Obama up ONE in MN. Sorry, I'm not buying that he's up more in WV than MN..

Now, it definitely is possible Obama is up in WV. The state is hurting bad. And I have seen one or two other polls showing it within 5 points, but to really confirm that Obama is ahead there we need another poll showing that.
