Ratings Change: 7 States Shift Toward Clinton in Electoral CollegeDemocrat projected to win 332 electoral votes she needs 270 to win
Posted Aug 22, 2016 5:00 AM By Nathan L. Gonzales
Donald Trump appears to be drowning in the wake of the conventions.
The GOP presidential nominee was in a precarious electoral position even before the conventions because of his high unfavorable ratings and penchant for controversial remarks. The four days in Cleveland were supposed to unite the GOP but appear to have done the opposite, as Trump has lost ground to Hillary Clinton in national and swing-state polls.
While the overall numbers in the Electoral College havent changed, certain key states appear to be slipping out of Trumps reach while a few reliably Republican states are coming into play. Were changing the ratings in seven states toward Clinton and just one in Trump's direction.

Also VA and PA are pretty much safe Dem and Arizona is probably toss-up or tilts Dem. This map seems a bit behind.
