USA Today has a cool RIA built with Flash that follows the polls in the US presidential race, state by state and for the entire country. The application provides historical results for each poll, and also graphs them over time to see how the race is changing.

This is a nice, simple application that displays a lot of information in a format that is meaningful and intuitive. Not an easy thing to do.

The BBC has built a Flex application that allows people to see results from today's Super Tuesday primaries, as well previous US elections dating back to 1948. The timeline in the application allows you to view the previous 15 elections quickly. I found it interesting to see how the US has changed from mostly Democrat (1948) to mostly Republican (1972, 1984).
