Top Election News Sites

Folks,

I'm having anxiety about The Election. Tomorrow's the day, and I'm refreshing a slew of political blogs and quick news sites constantly. I thought I'd share a few of my favorite sources and sites with y'all too.

  1. FiveThirtyEight. This site is my all time favorite for election statistics. It's run by a couple of smart statisticians and they know their stuff. They interpret all the polling data and give odds for an Obama victory, which is currently 98.1 percent.
  2. Realclearpolitics. This is great for news article compilations, but their projection math isn't as accurate as fivethirtyeight.
  3. Pollster. Another good projection website. Popularly cited by CNN and Fox.
  4. After these three, I either go to Politico or I head over to the more conventional news sources, like NYTimes, or AP news (via Google news).
  5. Spend 10 minutes doing real work, think about Nov 4, and go back to #1.
So there you have it. Find out about things before your friends. CNN and NBC should have up to date news feeds on their sites too.

I HIGHLY recommend "the page". Everyone I know who works in DC checks it compulsively.
