Zogby: Obama Ahead in Electoral Votes; Four States Change Color
Buck | Jul. 24, 2008



Pollster John Zogby’s new Electoral College analysis gives Barack Obama 273 EC votes to John McCain’s 146. Zogby says 119 votes are too close to call at this point in the election cycle.

Here are the latest changes and Zogby’s analysis on the Zogby Electoral College map:

Arkansas changes from purple to red: “It may look like a toss-up, but the conservative base is probably too solid for Obama to crack.”

Arizona changes from purple to red: “The state may be changing, but it is still home turf for McCain. Look for conservatives to come back to McCain.”

Florida changes from red to purple: “Seniors and whites provide McCain a cushion over Obama. However, no one should count votes here too soon.”

South Dakota changes from red to purple: “A tough call here, so we’ll shade it purple for now.”
