      <![CDATA[@Smiley - The RCP page has the electoral count at 264-163 in Obama's favor right now (with 270 needed to win, then remortgage via the bail out, the White House).<br>
<br>
If you take out the toss up states and assume they go for whoever they're leaning towards right now, it's 364-174.<br>
<br>
Those numbers don't consider post-Round 2 numbers yet, of course.<br>

      <![CDATA[The Gallup poll taken over the same period as the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby one has Obama at +11.  <br>
<br>
Guess there is a difference, though...  The +2 was from "likely voters," while the +11 was registered voters.<br>
<br>
There's a good post on the Gallup site from 9/12 that breaks down the difference between registered and likely voters:  <br>
