Updated 5/24/12, 12:00 PM ET
Latest 2012 Presidential Election Polls & Electoral Vote Projection - Here is the 2012 Presidential Election Electoral Vote Map (above) and Table (below). We have shaded the states according to our current estimate of how the state is likely to vote in the November 2012 General Election. States that we consider “tossup” states we have shaded in green.
Check back often as we keep this map updated frequently with our projection based on current polls, trends, and the all important “gut-feeling.” To see the most recent polls for each state, just click on the state name in the table below. The most recent polls are also linked at the top of the table. We’ll do our best to keep it that way from day to day. Polls will be posted as they come out – when we can do so. But look for everything to be updated late each evening.
