There are a lot of election polls out there and it's hard to know which one is right. But for those looking to keep tabs on the Presidential race, one website may have offer all the tracking data you need.
FiveThirtyEight.com, which draws its name from the total number of Electoral votes in the U.S., tracks all the major polls and breaks the data down to the state-level.
The site is run by Nate Silver, who works as a writer and analyst for Baseball Prospectus. That might not sound like the right credentials for tracking an election, but consider this: Silver's baseball background gives him a lot of credibility when it comes to crunching statistics (as any baseball fan knows), but unlike a lot of pollsters or political types, he doens't have a skin in the game., and that can be a good thing in terms of objectivity.
