I've worked around accounting offices for years, so numbers don't ordinarily intimidate me. The home page at FiveThirtyEight.com, however, is another story. It's an electoral polling and projections site started by Nate Silver, a baseball sabermetrician gone bad.
Anyway, if you can get past the initial shock, there's an awful lot of useful and informative data contained within the site, combined with a conversational writing style. If you're a political junkie, you've probably heard the site cited on NPR and in the papers. It's worth a look.
