Clinton far ahead in Electoral College race: Reuters/Ipsos poll

By Maurice Tamman | NEW YORK

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton maintained her commanding lead in the race to win the Electoral College and claim the U.S. presidency, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project results released on Saturday.

In the last week, there has been little movement. Clinton leads Donald Trump in most of the states that Trump would need should he have a chance to win the minimum 270 votes needed to win. According to the project, she has a better than 95 percent chance of winning, if the election was held this week. The mostly likely outcome would be 326 votes for Clinton to 212 for Trump.

Trump came off his best debate performance of the campaign Wednesday evening but the polling consensus still showed Clinton winning the third and final face-off on prime-time TV. Trump disputes those findings.

And some national polls had the race tightening a wee bit this week though others had Clinton maintaining her solid lead. But the project illustrates that the broader picture remains bleak for Trump with 17 days to go until the Nov. 8 election.

lest we forget their interference in our election this season! Geez though, good line for all the other forums out in the wild that support Trump. "If Hillary doesn't win now, the election is rigged"!

but the House is probably out of reach but who knows, Frump pissed off a lot of people, maybe if the people mobilize and go to teach the GOP a lesson for even nominating the jerk than she might get the house.

This is typical Reuters bullshit. Trump's 3rd debate was nothing more than a combo of his rude continually-interrupting 1st debate and his rambling, incoherent, and offtopic 2nd debate.
