I don’t think there is a central source — most of what I have seen comes from articles this time. Would think there would be people keeping track because as you say this would be much more accurate then polling.

A lot of what I have seen also comes from longtime Freepers and what they are seeing in their state. You can tell when ads start dwindling or when candidates stop making trips into their state.

One of the reasons it would be easier to track Obama is that he hired so many more people then McCain and opened up offices and staffed them where he had no chance like two here in Oklahoma. I almost fell off my chair laughing when he opened two offices here and now down 41 points. From what I hear he pulled all staffers out of the state and the Dems locally are funding the offices. Kerry wasn’t that dumb to come into Oklahoma after the primary.

In 2000 if anyone had kept tracked they would have seen Pres Bush the last three weeks concentrating along the I-4 corridor of FL especially Hillsborough County (Tampa). If I had been Gore’s consultant, I would have sent him to FL to camp out after what I saw Bush doing. I am just very glad they didn’t. People that had been traveling with his campaign were sent to FL.

CA was cancelled by the McCain campaign for Gov Palin to do fundraisers because of her visit to the UN. If they had not rescheduled, I would put a fork in CA but with her going back out in early October, we may be seeing a trend to McCain in the The Golden State. The Hollywood crowd is acting hysterical right now especially against Palin which speaks volumes about her addition to the ticket which looks to have changed the total dynamics of the campaign.

Know that wasn’t much help but I am going to start looking around to see what I can find. These polls are pretty much worthless. Even the Dems are taken points away from Obama because they do not believe what they are saying because they believe people being polled are lying.
