US election fever

A couple of sites I find provide really good US election coverage:

  • Electoral Vote – summarises the likely electoral college based on up to date polling in each state (remember that the US system is mostly a winner-takes-all state-based one) – this is far more useful than the national polls.  Also has a good summary every day of the major events likely to influence the outcome.
  • FiveThirtyEight.com – a ridiculously comprehensive summary of polling and other information, with a bit more humour and detailed posts from on the campaign trail.
  •  Poll Bludger – featuring a regular US election countdown thread, with (sometimes) interesting discussion of the election from an Australian perspective.
