Ignore national poll numbers

Look at state-by-state polls of likely voters and the resulting electoral college totals (Zogby Sound Bites! as of February 26, 2004) Senator Kerry comfortably leads in states with a total of 226 electoral votes; President Bush leads in states with 176 electoral votes; another 136 electoral votes are up for grabs in 10 states. Remember, the candidate must get 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
