Clinton surges past 270 electoral votes in new battleground map We’ve updated our NBC battleground map. The states in Hillary Clinton’s column now add up to 288 electoral votes, which exceeds the 270 needed to win the presidency. Donald Trump, meanwhile, is at 174 electoral votes, and an additional 76 are in the Tossup category. Our last map, back in July, showed Clinton with a 255-190 advantage — so Clinton’s tally has gone up since the conventions, while Trump’s has declined. The significant changes in our map: - We’ve moved Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Nebraska’s one electoral vote from Tossup to Lean Dem. - We’ve also moved Florida from Lean Dem to Tossup.- Georgia moves from Lean GOP to Tossup. - And we’ve changed Kansas and South Carolina from Likely GOP to Lean GOP. (Our regular caveat here, of course: These designations are subject to change as we get more poll numbers and reporting.)Explore more here: http://on.msnbc.com/2bxZx7G -- source link
