OK. So, who is correct?
Electoral-Vote.COM:
Kerry: 280
Chimp: 248

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

OR:

CNN:
Kerry: 237
Bush: 301

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/08/electoral.map/index.html

This seems to be quite a large disparity.

1. CNN-the most distrusted name in news
after FAUX.

2. CNN is based on Gallup
which has a history of over-sampling Republicans. As such they give a number of states to Bush, most notably Ohio and Wisconsin. Considering the registration numbers, at least in Ohio, I suspect this will tip these to Kerrey.

3. There's also

He only gives states to candidates when the lead it outside the MOE. He has it as a tie, which I think is pretty accurate. Remember, Bush was leading in EVs barely a week ago.
