More on Clinton v Obama

[ciphergoth]

electoralvote.com maintains an aggregate "poll of polls" on Clinton v Obama, which at the moment is largely based on whoever did the most recent poll but is still probably more reliable than going by older data. I've cleaned up the diagram I use to illustrate it, too:

Clinton's battle
Obama's battle

Sorry to use the FIPS state codes, but I think the gain in clarity is worth it.

This is what you get when I can't sleep...

Don't apologise for the use of codes, it makes it much, much cleaner. I very nearly suggested it when you posted the original diagram.

Its interesting :)

Still think MaCain will win tho'
And Obama recent spending probably mean the big guys have bought him anyway. Don't think there will be any real change for the world if he did get in.

America has a really fucked polical system, even worse than ours. Poor people vote against themseleves for ideologica reasons like abortion, gay rights when in reality it makes no difference to their own lives. The republican are masters of manipulation. Here in Britian nobody in politics would recognise an ideology if the fell over it.

Reprsentive democarcy can never be perfect but
Dem/Rep/Con/Lab/Left/Right They argue about 100 year old ideas in the modern world it seems like a sham. Shuch similar polocies that it just seems like the world has its own momentim and nobodys brave enought to say 'hmmm hang on a minute should we think about this??'

Hmm sorry right off on a tagent there but thanks for the info.
As Kung Fu Sze once said "ill sleep enought when im dead"

I have no idea at all what to make of this graph.

Though I still think that these polls, especially with it so close, are nonsense considering how far away the election is. There's bound to be at least one debate, for example, and that's a few points to Obama right there -- he could talk the hind legs off a coffee table. And Clinton's bound to come up with some other moronically obvious lie before the election. And McCain will be dead by then.

I'll start listening to polls sometime in early February.

what's wrong with the FIPS state codes? (Other than being less obvious outside the US)
