I have followed the election 2008 statistics, including every single poll, since 2007.
Now that the final vote tallies are in, I have created an excel table for all 50 states, plus DC, plus numerous regional combinations, comparing 2008 to 2008. Everything is in this table, I call it therefore, the “everything table”.
the fourth table within the document is the most concise EVERYTHING table, with winning and losing percentages, the winning margin, comparision to the last 7 polls (averaged) on Nov. 3rd, compared to 2004, compared to the 60 year average (minus the year 2008). It is complete and currently sorted in order to winning margin for Obama from largest to smallest and then from McCain’s winning margin from smallest to largest (hourglass order), but I lack the knowlege to attach anchors to the top of each row to allow other users to re-sort the entire table alphanumberic, either ascending or descending, for percentages for either Obama or McCain, or for 2004, or for the end polling, etc. More than that, I am looking for a double set of anchors, so that the user can either sort with the two candidates mixed together, or sort with them separated, as I currently have.
The WIKIPEDIA SITE FOR THE GE 2008 also has a table, simply of the popular vote, but also with sorting anchors.
This is uncharted territory for me and I need help to get this done before putting out an enormous, extensive analysis of the GE 2008.
I have, thanks to advice from Dave, uploaded the table to google.
If anyone with experience with this kind of this could help, I would be appreciative. You can reach me at bonncaruso@gmail.com.
Thanks.
I created the excel data with Open Office (the latest version), in german.
