Markos over at DailyKos has just posted his July 1st "State of the Race," in which he takes poll aggregates from Pollster.com and translates that data into electoral college votes. It's not exactly scientific, sure, but he does it carefully enough. In any case, things are looking pretty damn amazing for November (emphasis mine):

The [June 23rd] tally was Obama 289, McCain 249. The states are granted to whichever candidate has the lead in the Pollster.com poll aggregates. (When there isn't enough polls in a state for there to be an aggregate number, I tally all polls after tossing anything from February and before.)

For this edition, the tally is Obama 317, McCain 221.

Compared to last week, Obama has taken the lead in Michigan and Indiana, monopolizing the Great Lakes states. All Kerry states are now in Obama's hands, while he's got leads in six Bush states -- New Mexico, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Virginia. That's a nice little swatch of Blue forming on the map.

Now let's look at the states I consider battlegrounds -- those with the poll aggregate in the single digits:

A lot of good stuff here. For starters, 207 Obama electoral votes are safely in the double digits, while only 86 McCain EV's are in a similar state. A full 21 states are currently in single digits, while Arizona and Kansas just barely missed out.

Compared to last week, Wisconsin and New Jersey are now solid Obama states, while Oregon slid into single digits and "yellow" battleground status. On McCain's side, his solid double-digit leads in Texas and Mississippi are gone, at least for the moment. Both coasts are now entirely in play or solidly Democratic, while the entire northern border is in play or solidly Democratic except for that that 45-mile sliver of Idaho.

Lookin' good! It seems to me that McCain's campaign is a sinking ship. He's a mess in front of cameras, and can't seem to get anyone riled up for him. Let's hope it stays that way.
