The 2008.PRES.OBAMA Intrade contract now trades at 68.3, whereas the 2008.PRES.McCAIN Intrade contract is currently trading at 32.9 (compared with 67.4 and 32.6 respectively as reported on yesterday’s update).

The state-by-state contracts now imply that Mr. Obama holds a 338-185 “lead” over Mr. McCain (based upon my cutoff price point of 55 for allocating Electoral College votes). Since yesterday, Florida (27 Electoral College votes) has moved back into Obama’s column. At this point, the only “swing” state currently left is North Carolina (15 Electoral College votes).

FiveThirtyEight.com currently gives Mr. Obama a 333.2 to 204.8 advantage over Mr. McCain.
