No. The front page map shows the most recent poll for each state, that’s it. Zogby seems to get his out the door faster, so there are often a lot of his showing on that map. There’s also, as of a few days ago, a map that averages recent polls if you prefer that.
No, the latest polling data from electoral-vote.com has the most polls from Rasmussen (261 of 937).
You made a point that there was a discrepency between the “electoral map” sites and the latest poll numbers. My point was that the pollers have fair discrepencies between their own popular vote and electoral vote tallies. And to top it off, their tallies just in the last day (your values from 10/31 and mine from 11/01). Perhaps this explains some of the discrepencies.
Another example of this is from Rasmussen:
Electoral votes: Bush 222 Kerry 186 Toss-ups 130
Popular votes: Bush 48.8% Kerry 47.4%.
Frankly, I think there’s just too much variance in all the poll results to draw any meaningful conclusion. When you see two polls taken on the same day among the same sized sample of the same group (likely voters) differ by as much as 15%, it tells you that the pollsters don’t have a good handle on what’s going on.
No, the site uses the latest poll regardless of its source.
All the poll results used on electoral-vote, electionprojection, and race2004 are listed too, if you’d prefer to crunch them yourself. Time histories of each are available graphically as well.
