[Note: I shuffled this post around a bit to put the most recent data at top and back data in the "Continue reading..." section. - David]

April 29
Bush: 50.0% of the national two-party vote
Kerry: 50.0% of the national two-party vote

Too close to call, swing states in play

Electoral Vote Projection:
Bush: 248
Kerry: 220
Too close to call: 70 (FL, IA, OH, OR, NH, NM, and WI)

In short, the latest polls, CBS in particular, hold good news for Kerry. In fact, today is his high-water mark thus far. However, we are a long way away from the election, and I imagine that some wild fluctuations will take place.

I first started making these calculations around one week ago, so for posterity���s sake here are the complete trends since I began this project. If a date isn���t listed, that is because there was no change from the previous day. From now on, I will update daily, as long as new polls warrant it.
