Real Clear Politics Electoral College Poll Map

For the first time, Real Clear Politics and their poll averages has Mitt Romney beating President Obama in the Electoral College.

The map is similar to my map from several months ago.

This map is from the interactive site, 270towin.com

But, what is interesting is that a number of states that many have thought in the Team Obama camp, may be in play – most notably Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The battleground state polls after the Monday night debate, should deliver a clearer picture of what will happen on November 6th.

By the way, the magic number of Electoral College votes to win is 270.
