The national "registered voter" or "likely voter" polls have Obama slightly ahead one day, and Romney slightly ahead the next. Looks like the country is split between the two parties, with a small percentage in the middle being the swing vote.

But the EV predictions speak to wins of state that don't necessarily correlate popular vote. And of course, it's the EV that counts.
