Electoral-vote.com tracks political polls for U.S. federal elections - President, Senate, and House - and displays them on a US map. The site is updated daily, so you can see the ever-changing view of the American popular vote. In addition to the polls and graphics, every day there is a new "News from the Votemaster" section which highlights the day's electoral news. This site is great and I find myself checking it every morning. And for those of you with an internet enabled phone, electoral-vote.com/phone.html formats nicely on a small screen.Check it out. And if you're still hungry for more, pollster.com is pretty good tool.
update: I've been using pollster for quite a while too, and apparently today they added an interactive map a la electoral-vote.

I've been keeping up with that one (or at least, attempting to) for a little while now. All sorts of fancy-pants statistics and whatnot.
Ha. Whitney beat me to pointing out fivethirtyeight.
Anyway, electoral-vote.com is also cool because the guy who runs it is Andy Tanenbaum, creator of Minix, who famously told Linus Torvalds in 1994 or so that he'd give him an F for Linux if he were one of his students.
I had no idea that's who ran the site. Andy Tanenbaum is my cousin's PhD advisor
Yup. RSS, FTW. And I appear to get emails about follow-up comments whether I tick the box or not.
Up until near the end of the '04 election Tanenbaum just referred to himself as "The Votemaster" on the site, but finally revealed himself. I think most of it is auto-generated, but he does do some pretty big news posts. That's cool that you not only know who he is but have a cousin that works with him.
