It seems as though we could have a repeat of what happened 4 years ago, where Bush won the electoral votes, but Gore had the majority of the popular vote. This graph uses averages of all the major polling organizations:

Notice how Kerry leads the States with the major cities (few exceptions) and Bush leads pretty much everywhere else.
This brings to question the electoral vote system and it's purpose. The idea was that states without the larger populus would be better represented in a close race. In this situation, it seems effective, but is it a true representation of the overall will of the people? Tough to say yes when the popular vote could dispute it.
This proves to be another interesting election.
