Best site for polls?

[Anonymous]

Can someone recommend a good comprehensive website for the latest election polls? I feel like I never have all the up-to-date numbers from all the sources. And yes, I'm a little obsessive...thanks!

This is a totally useless site. They show a tracking polls that measures the popular vote, which as we all know does not matter for the purposes of electing a POTUS. I want to see an electroral college map. Where is the best place to see one of these.

OP here...this is the electoral map I usually look at:

Not sure if there is a better one, though.

You will never see the really good, really expensive polls because those are commissioned and paid for by the candidates handlers. I worked for a partisan phone bank service two years ago, and it would amaze you the things that they ask on these polls and the responses that they get.

Ditto. They average all the major polls plus provide links to the individual polls.

RCP is my favorite. They also have a great electoral college map with the latest poll data. You can click on the states to see what happens if that state goes the opposite way. Here's the map:
