Election Prediction Tracker, Oct 29: Winds Picking Up

Reminder to my fellow Romneyites: sign up to make phone calls - I'm probably not going to be doing much of that til the end of this week… if at all.

First up, popular vote polling:

Reminder on Unskewed Polls outlier: that's their election day prediction, the other points are poll averages (their "unskewed" poll). I'm keeping the outlier to check against what happens.

RCP: Obama, 46.7%; Romney, 47.7% (both went down a few tenths of a percentage point… Gary Johnson & Jill Stein must be catching on fire!)

Nate Silver: Obama, 50.4%; Romney, 48.7% (barely moved for Obama)

Unskewed polls: Obama, 45.8%; Romney, 50.0% (unchanged)

 

Electoral College projections:

RCP:  Obama, 201; Romney, 191; Toss-up, 146 (no change)

RCP No Tossup: Obama, 290; Romney, 248 (no change)

Nate Silver: Obama, 296.6; Romney, 241.4 (shift of 1 vote to Obama)

Unskewed polls: Obama, 179; Romney, 359  (no change)

 

Win probabilities: (will not necessarily add to 1)

Nate Silver: Obama, 74.6%; Romney 25.4% (movement of 1 percentage point to Obama)

InTrade:  Obama, 62.6%; Romney, 37.3% (a little to Romney)

 
For your reading amusement:
 
 
A couple from Bob Krumm: Does Ohio Really Matter? and Why Do They Still Believe? (btw, I agree w/ Krumm's complaint about Nate Silver's false precision…he should give us the error bars)
 

FYI: I live in Westchester County in NY. The election prediction tracker may go down for some days.  Of course, it may that nothing moves while I'm lacking internet.
