2012 Electoral Map Predictions: 11-6 Election Day

Nov 5th, 2012

With less than 24 hours until the last vote of the 2012 Presidential election is cast, Barack Obama appears on course to be reelected. The polls in swing states show a distinctive advantage for Obama over Romney, which has led to a consensus among poll watchers and statisticians that Obama will be able to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. The only poll that really matters is the one taking place in voting booths across the country, so this isn’t a foregone conclusion.
