fivethirtyeight.com: Electoral Projections

Mission: "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."

Frequency of updates:
"Generally, the charts, graphs and polling averages on the site are refreshed once per day to reflect any new polls. Sometimes, there might not be any polling on a given day, and so an update will not take place. Other times, volume may be so heavy that multiple updates are necessary.

You can tell that the charts and graphs on the site have been updated any time you see the "Today's Polls" tag in the footer.

Senate polls are updated less frequently: generally once per week, on Mondays."

Thanks to Former Fellow Jay Hamilton (class of 2008) for pointing out this resource.
