He's still looking solid in the electoral college math. Media outlets focus on the Gallup daily tracking poll and others to make broad declarations about how the race is swinging in one direction or another, but the electoral math has remained relatively unchanged.
According to Pollster, an aggregate polling site that combines all of the polls done statewide, Obama has a 238-224 advantage in the electoral college, with 76 states up for grabs. Compare that with Obama being down in the daily tracking poll, 46 percent to 47 percent.
