This is the first time since the Democratic National Convention that Bush has been up by more than a single point in the Tracking Poll. It is the first time since June 12 that he has been up by three points.
Yesterday, for the first time all year, our projection showed Bush with an advantage in the Electoral College. We will be issuing another Electoral College update today at 3:00 p.m. Eastern.
Our current projection shows Bush with 200 Electoral Votes to 190 for Kerry. The magic number needed to reach the White House is 270 Electoral Votes. This is based upon a series of new state election polls from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, and Ohio. Other recent state polls include Minnesota, California, Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada.
