Here is a prediction of the electoral map from Colorado professors.
http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2012/10/04/updated-election-forecasting-model-still-points-romney-win-university
They have been right on EVERY election since 1980 based on the economy.
"According to their updated analysis, Romney is projected to receive 330 of the total 538 Electoral College votes. President Barack Obama is expected to receive 208 votes -- down five votes from their initial prediction -- and short of the 270 needed to win.
Their model had an average error rate of five states and 28 Electoral College votes. Factors they said may affect their prediction include the time frame of the economic data used in the study and that states very close to a 50-50 split may fall in an unexpected direction due to factors not included in the model."
