PATH TO VICTORY:
OUR ELECTORAL FORECAST MAP

The presidential election looks certain to be close once again. Democrat Barack Obama has a very slight lead in electoral votes, based on our forecasts to this point. Obama is running strong in the Northeast, northern Midwest and Far West, while McCain does better in the less-populous Mountain states and the South. But there are more states in play than in the last two elections, and that will make for a close overall race.
It takes 270 votes of a total of 538 to win.
