Realclearpolitics average is surging... http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016

I've been trying to understand how the electoral college works and how the map looks over the past week so I'll be able to better understand what happens tomorrow and from what I've seen Hillary just basically has to not lose states that are normally democratic in order to win the election but Trump has to not only hold and win republican states that are going purple but also win a few states that lean democrat. It's definitely going to be harder for Trump to win than Clinton based on that. Basically it sounds like Clinton just has to hold the states the democrats usually win whereas Trump has to do the same for republicans and also make some upsets.
 
Electoral College gives 2 delegates ( votes) to each state based on Senate representation.
Then 1 more for each Congressional District -as Congressional districts are proportional to population

Basically, with some exceptions.

Virginia is fairly new to the Democratic column as is Florida, North Carolina and Colorado.
 
Clinton down in Florida ( still a toss up -but the Puerto Ricans turnout will do iti n the I-4 corridor)

Trump down in NC- but still winning
Trump down in NV -but still winning
clinton up in NH.

(for what this is all worth)
 
Be that as it may its too late to worry about trends.....by the time we have enough info to track where this is headed, it will be over....

Well if you say so. You have never ever been wrong. You should be happy you nominated the most trusted candidate in American history. You will turn Texas blue like you predicted. Congrats

Poor Don... sour grapes? Just start accepting reality and stop confusing it with what you really, really hope would be true.
