FiveThirtyEight is a nifty little website that displays electoral projections in — what else? — snazzy red and blue. There's an electoral vote tracker, a scenario analysis rundown and more.

The website's mission is defined thusly: "Most broadly, to accumulate and analyze polling and political data in way that is informed, accurate and attractive. Most narrowly, to give you the best possible objective assessment of the likely outcome of upcoming elections."

I've only recently started looking through it, but I recommend reading more about their process.
