Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Nice, simple plug-in displays the current projected electoral vote count in the status bar.

Polling data from all major non-partisan state polls is averaged on a rolling 7-day period.
Electoral-vote.com was 92-98% accurate in 2004 (using 3 different algorithms),and the current algorithm has been revised based on lessons learned then and in the 2006 election.

Contrary to the comment below, all Zogby and FoxNews state polls are included in the data (Fox does not actually conduct polls, they contract Rasmussen). The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute is highly respected pollster, and their results are frequently cited in all major news outlets – hardly a “hack university poll”.

Highly recommended for political news junkies!
