Latest run, check out the current battleground chart and compare it to the "Polimetrics Partisan Index I ran last in April. Only Ohio is a suprise among the critical states. I have conjectured that projected outcome can be explained more by the demographic and cultural make-up of a state than by early polls. These final polls are looking much more like the partisan index.

Kerry's numbers improved slightly, but all movement is within the margins of error for various polling agencies. It really comes down to get-out-the-vote.
