    The TRUE Math

    Assume that current state polls reflect the will of the electorate and a fraud-free election is held today. The 2008 Election Model indicates that given the following undecided voter allocations (UVA), Obama’s projected 2-party vote share and expected (mean) electoral vote are:

    UVA
    51.9%
    60%
    75%
    80%
    Vote
    51.9%
    52.4%
    53.3%
    53.6%
    Evote
    343
    351
    365
    369
    EV Wins   (in a Monte Carlo simulation of 5000 election trials)
    4998
    5000          (base case scenario)
    5000
    5000
     

    Obama is projected to win 54.2% of the two-party vote based on the most recent 5 national polls. Since the national polls lead the states, we can expect a rise in his expected EV to 380+.
