2008 Presidetial Election Map

Obama vs. McCain

I realize it’s a bit early to do any kind of election predictions, but for all you political junkies out there, here’s the current score. If the presidential election were held today and it was Obama (D) up against McCain (R), the Democrat would come out on top winning 46% vs. 43% nationally.

According to a Rasmussen polling report, the Democrats would pick up Iowa, New Mexico, and Ohio (debatable). This would give them 284 electoral votes against 216 for the GOP.

This time around, Colorado, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia all represent toss-up states that are up for grabs.

If we assume that the Republicans will hold onto Ohio and Missouri; the Democrats can take New Mexico but will also need to pick up either Virginia or a combination of Colorado/Nevada or Colorado/Iowa.

In the event that the Democrats pick up Iowa, Nevada, and New Mexico, yet the Republicans get Colorado, Missouri, and Virginia — we’d see a 269/269 election split.
