Perspctv is a new election dashboard that tracks the web for sentiment favoring Obama and McCain. All the data is pulled together into a very attractive dashboard that lets to explore current sentiment and trends. Previously they tracked polls, news mentions, blogosphere mentions, Twitter mentions, Electoral-vote.com, candidate website daily reach and Google search volume. All those metrics are fairly unanimous in favoring Obama with him getting around 85% of Twitter, News and Blogosphere mentions.

Today Perspctv has now also added Hubdub forecasts to their dashboard. Currently Hubdub is forecasting Obama to pick up 298 electoral votes which is ahead of the Electoral-vote.com projection of 275. Check it out and let me know what you think. (Perspctv works of an API to our election data. If you are a developer and would like to use that data then get in touch.)
