Election Forecast Summaries: 11/1 (afternoon)

I've added a new tracker to this list, TPM's which is powered by PollTracker. Tx4Obama gave me a huge list of electoral maps last night, but except for TPM, most of the ones I didn't have were more interested in keeping it a horse race than in presenting an up to date snapshot.

From now until the election I'll post once or twice a day with these summaries. "p(RE)" means "probability of re-election," although I've now gone to a standard percentage-based unit. "unch" means unchanged from last report.

[font color="blue"]
Votamatic: O 332 (unch)

Election Projection: O 290 (new)

University of Illinois U-C: O 294.4 (unch); p(RE)=97.9% (unch)

Electoral-vote.com: O 299, R 206, T 33 (O+19, T-19)

Huffington Post: O 277, R 206, T 55 (unch)

TPM/PollTracker: O 285, R 191, T 62 (new)

FiveThirtyEight: O 300.4 (+1.4); p(RE)=79.0% (+1.6%)

Princeton: O 316 (O+13); p(RE)=96%, 99.1% (+3%, +1%)

DeSart/Holbrook: O 281 (unch); p(RE)=86.84% (+0.15%)[/font]
[font color="red"]
...And Just For Laughs, UnSkewedPolls: O 179, R 359 (unch from 10/25) [/font] which means my bet with Dean Chambers is presently worth $2,428!

For every EV he's off by, he owes me twenty bucks. For every EV Nate Silver is off by, I owe him twenty bucks. Loser pays winner the difference after the election.
