Obama has pulled ahead in Florida in the latest Quinnipiac poll and increased his PA lead.
As a result, his expected electoral vote increased from 324 yesterday to 350 today.
His 2-party projected vote share has also jumped: from 52.3% to 52.8%.
If the election were held today, Obama would win the electoral vote by
350 –
188.
The State model projects that he would win 52.8% of the 2-party vote.
The National model projects indicates that he would win 52.9%.
Obama leads the latest state poll aggregate average by 46.2 – 42.7%.
He also leads the latest national poll aggregate by 46.8 – 43.0%.
The electoral vote is the average of a 5000 election trial Monte Carlo simulation.
Obama won all 5000 trials; therefore, there is a virtual 100% probability of winning the electoral vote
The model executes five scenarios of undecided voter allocation.
In the most likely base case, 60% of undecided voters were allocated to Obama.
In the worst case, 50% were allocated and Obama had 51.7%, 328 EV and a 99% win probability.
The latest polls indicate that these states will flip to Obama: CO, IA, MO, NM, OH, VA, NC, NV, FL (new)
But there’s a catch:
It’s called
Election Fraud.
The Democratic True Vote is always greater than the Recorded Vote.
- Approximately 3–4 million Obama votes will be uncounted (70–80%).
- There will very likely be vote-switching at the DREs and central tabulators.
- The Democrats need a very heavy voter turnout to overcome the fraud.
Obama will probably need at least 54% of the True Vote (2-party) to win.
Now for the good news:
Obama should get the 54% — at a minimum.- It’s only June and he is leading despite all the media-driven negatives from the primary.
- Bush is at 25% in the polls — and McCain supports his policies.
- His poll numbers vs. McCain can only go up as the focus turns to the election.

Reviewing the 2004 Election ModelThe final
pre-election state polls matched the
pre-election national polls.
Kerry led the final pre-election state poll weighted average by 47.7- 47.0%.
He also led the final national 18-poll average by 47.3 - 46.9%.
The
weighted average state projection closely matched the national. Kerry won the state projection with 51.8% of the 2-party vote and 337 electoral votes.
He also won the national projection with 51.6% of the 2-party vote.
Exit Pollsters
Edison-Mitofsky released their 2004 Evaluation report in Jan. 2005.
- It indicated that Kerry won the unadjusted (WPD) aggregate state exit polls by 51.8–47.2%.
- The 12:22am National Exit Poll update indicated that Kerry won by 51.4–47.6%.
E-M stated that respondents were randomly selected and that the margin of error was 1.0%.
Professional pollsters allocate
undecided voters in every election.
- The majority are allocated to the challenger, especially if the incumbent is unpopular.
Bush had a 48% approval rating on Election Day.
There was a strong 0.87 correlation between Bush monthly approval and his poll numbers.
- The Gallup Poll allocated 90% of undecided voters to Kerry. Harris and Zogby gave him 67-80%.
The Election Model final base case projection allocated 75% of undecided voters to Kerry.
The Election Calculator ModelThe Election Calculator indicates Obama will win the True Vote in a 71-59m landslide (54–45%). The 2004 True Vote was the basis for the calculation.
Kerry won the 2004 True Vote in a 67–57m landslide (53.2–45.4%).2000 voter turnout in 2004 was total votes cast in 2000 less mortality times the turnout percentage. In 2000, the Census reported
110.8m votes cast, but only
105.4m were recorded.
In 2004, the Census
reported 125.7m votes cast, but only
122.3m were recorded.
The Calculator determines the
True Vote based on the estimated shares of returning voters.
- The 12:22am National Exit Poll “How Voted” category is a reasonable best case estimate.
- Kerry won 57% of new voters and others who did not vote in 2000.
He won 91% of returning Gore voters and 10% of Bush voters.
He captured 64% of returning Nader voters. Bush had 17%.
2004 Pre-election and Exit Poll ConfirmationFinal pre-election polls showed Kerry and Bush in a virtual tie.
The unweighted state average favored Bush, but Kerry led the aggregate weighted average.
The pre-election aggregate state polls closely matched the national pre-election poll average.
A few naysayers maintain that polling analysis cannot prove that the 2004 election was stolen.
They claim that the Final National Exit Poll was correct and the unadjusted exit polls were wrong.
The Final National Exit Poll was forced to match the recorded vote using impossible weightings.
After undecided voters were allocated, the pre-election polls matched the unadjusted exits.
Simple MATH proves the Final NEP inflated the number of returning Bush voters by 6.6m.- The Final indicates that Bush 2000 voters comprised 43% (52.6m) of the 2004 electorate (122.3m).
But Bush only had 50.5m recorded votes in 2000. - Voter mortality tables show that approximately 2m Bush 2000 voters died prior to 2004.
And about 2.5m Bush 2000 voters did not vote in 2004, assuming that 95% of 48.5m voted.
Therefore, only 46.0m Bush 2000 voters could have returned to vote in 2004.
But according to the Final National Exit Poll, which is always forced to match the (official) recorded vote count, 52.6m returned. That is a mathematical impossibility.
- Bush needed 16 million new voters to achieve his 62m recorded vote.
According to the Election Calculator, he had 57m, an 11m increase.
Where did Bush find 16 million new voters?
Kerry won the final 5m recorded votes by 54.3–45.7%.
These were late votes recorded a few days after the election.
They consisted primarily of absentee and provisional ballots.
Bush won the 2004 recorded vote by 62.0 - 59.0m (50.7- 48.3%) and had 286 EV.
Of 3.4 million uncounted votes, approximately 2.6m were for Kerry - a net 1.8m margin.
Bush’s 3.0m margin is thus reduced to 1.2m – and that’s before vote-switching.
To believe that Bush won, one must believe that the pre-election and unadjusted exit polls were wrong.
And also believe that the Final Exit Poll, although mathematically impossible, was accurate.
Some argue that exit poll discrepancies from the recorded vote can't prove that fraud occurred.
But that's not a valid criticism. The question should be:Do the Exit polls, in conjunction with the Pre-election and
Approval polls, indicate that fraud was likely?
