NBC's final battleground map: Clinton 274, Trump 170, 94 in Tossup http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/2016-election-day/nbc-s-final-battleground-map-shows-clinton-edge-n678926
Ok I'm goingwith this map.
Will be interesting, after the dust clears, to compare this one against the final cut.
Seriously? The deep Red Dakotas, Kansas, in the "lean R" collumn ??
I believe this is a more realistic map than what we have been seeing.
Cool huh!

(15,290 posts)At the end of showing this map, Kornacki finally admitted to throwing out as many disclaimers as he could, but it was clear he knows Trump can't really win.
AZ, TX, FL are lean R due to the large Latino/Hispanic early vote.

(9,148 posts)But then this whole year has been pretty unpredictable.
I have no answer for those deep red states in the leaning R column.
Maybe people are more sensible than we thought.
The silent ones this season.

(6,587 posts)ahead of Trump by 10 points. That is consistent with suburbs across the country with above average income & college degrees. I always call Johnson County smart republican voters. They are liberal in their social beliefs but more conservative in fiscal. I am still to the left of them but still good.
I would love to see KS go blue tomorrow night though so will keep my hopes high.

(9,148 posts)A stunner!

(459 posts)all three of which i think will go to hillary. ohio is probably the true tossup of this election, every poll has been tight throughout. arizona and georgia i think lean trump but it depends on hispanic turnout.

(70,581 posts)Georgia and Texas might be in play.
I live in OH and the early voting has been very strong for HRC and Trump has
zero ground game here.
W.V., TN, & KY are examples of people voting aginst their own best interests.
And BTW those coal jobs are not coming back for a number of reasons not the
least of which is that natural gas is cleaner and cheaper.

(70,581 posts).... strong and that is some people hate Hillary because of all of the crap and the lies that
have thrown against the Clintons since their days in Arkansas. If you run into any of "them*"
walk away and don't spend a second talking to them because they are lost anyway.
* Rush, Fox, Breitbart, News Max, Drudge, and many Republicans have fed their hate for years.
One Trump supporter rents a place in the same apartment as my son and he really doesn't have
a pot to pee in but he has all of his Trump signs up. (Summit County)
I'll be doing election protection work tomorrow in Columbus.

On edit: I looked up this graphic from earlier this morning:
He's kinda sorta going NPR's way on this.
misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)I think they cannot predict so easily because the Latino & AA vote is the monkey wrench in the mix.
Actually Trump has been such an abominable candidate & that in itself is the biggest factor.

(82,383 posts)For those idiots who would not bother if they thought she were too far ahead!
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,198 posts)They won't go red. My prediction is a majority of them go blue.
341-197. I'm calling it now.
