Disturbing News on Electoral College Estimate

Mike McCarville at The McCarville Report has disturbing news on the latest Electoral College estimates on the Presidential election of 2008.

According to the report issued on the basis of survey data in all 50 states, if the election were held today, Barack Obama would be elected President by an overwhelming Electoral College majority.

Obama would garner 320 electoral votes while John McCain would come in with only 215.

There is a silver lining behind this dark cloud, however. The latest Rasmussen poll taken yesterday shows that John McCain has pulled up into a dead-heat with Obama.

This news comes after months of polling data showing McCain running behind by an average of 5-6 percentage points.

Rasmussen conducts a daily tracking poll of trends in Election '08, and Saturday's poll represents the first time that McCain has polled above 45% since Obama secured the Democratic nomination on June 3.

Perhaps the Obamessiah is beginning to lose some of his political sex appeal.
