 I think the map is a decent enough feature - it's certainly useful for anyone who doesn't want to wade through the data to see what the overall picture is! However, I agree with the poster above that the "last poll" methodology is somewhat crude - it makes the map too volatile and is open to too much interpretation (if two polls come out on the same day, which is the last one?) I think a rolling average would be too difficult to keep up to date  and too prone to errors - so what I'd suggest is the following: Each poll is scored as Obama, Clinton or Tie (if the lead is less than the margin of error). Then every time a new poll is added, the person adding it does a simple count of the number of "wins" each candidate has in the last three days' polls. If either candidate has a majority, they are awarded the state. If not, it's scored as a tie. If there are no objections, I am happy to go through and do this for the existing data.   20:06
