Electoral College Graph

"Here's one interesting bit of data that a chart like this make much easier to see... Not all the post-convention polls are in yet, but for all the talk of McCain's post-convention "surge" (the way the media describes it, it's much more than a bounce) McCain's only gained 7 EVs in the last week (as of Sept. 10, actual leaners only). Even more telling, he's actually 31 EVs below where he was on Aug. 21, just a few days before the Democratic convention started. Since that same date, Obama has actually gained 17 EVs."
