So says Slate in their Election Scorecard – Where the presidential race stands today.
The polls backing up their projections are laid out in detailed tables at the link. This seems a tad optimistic although, as Glenn Reynolds notes, Slate isn’t known as a Republican shill.

Maybe they are trying to scare the Dems into action. However this seems likely to depress them.

But I Thought Kerry Won the Debate?
James Joyner links to a Slate electoral map showing Bush ahead 348-190 in the electoral college. I am stunned, especially since I hear over and over from the media Kerry has won the debate and has assured voters he can…

And the poll was done by /SurveyUSA (aka my daughters 3rd grade class at Joe McCarthy Elementary school).

SurveyUSA is a perfectly respectable outfit. But only a handful of polls in the grid were done by them–or any single pollster.

Slate Has Bush Dominating
Take a look at this map Slate has up forecasting the electoral college results of the election (via OTB). Holy crap, right? And the numbers they have up are even more shocking: Bush: 348 Electoral Votes (230 solid, 118 close)…

Polls are for chumps. However…
When you see a map with that much red on it, you can’t help but feel a little confident, even if that confidence is based entirely on fleeting, unreliable polling than can change at the drop of a hat.

I doubt Bush will get OH and PA both… maybe one of them.

A rosy map
I’m notsosure about the alleged leads for Bush in New Mexico, Michigan or Pennsylvania and I’m certain that Virginia and North Carolina will go Republican. Nonetheless, the result Slate currently predicts would work fine by me.

LOL what a fucking joke. You guys have Florida and colorado and wyoming , and NM listed as STRONG for bush? Are you on the pipe? For any poor misinformed reader who wants to know what the actual standings are go to google and type in “electoral college poll standings” pick 9/10 and you’ll find one very similar to this.

If you read this page thinking its factual instead of a slanted right wing “poll” check you’re facts.
