So in a possible political outcome based on the current data could be a more dicey situation then in 2000. If the election were held today and the poll data was all accurate. Below, would be the scenario as given today.
McCain would win the popular election.
There would be a tie in the electoral college 269-269. McCain and Obama actually are tied if you look at a state by state breakdown in polling.
Obama would presumably win the election by a vote of the House of Representatives.
How you like them apples.
