- Pollster.com -- Great maps and charts, along with helpful links to each of the latest state and national polls.
- Realclearpolitics.com -- Constantly updated polling averages, along with a wide ideological array of news analysis articles.

Nate Silver brings his wizardry from the world of sports analysis to politics, using a sophisticated series of equations to eliminate the biases among individual polling houses to effectively forecast elections in each state. Nice bits of polling analysis, too.
- Drew Linzer's Poll Tracker -- Drew tries to keep it simple by doing Bayesian updates on all the tracking polls in the battleground states. He also uses these numbers to estimate the probability that the candidates will win each state.
