US Election Series: How the estimated electoral map appears?

To win the White House a candidate needs to secure 270 electorates from a total of 538 available. Details of the final election process are explained here, http://www.econotimes.com/US-Presidential-Election-Series-Final-election-process-explained-242267.

Let’s take a look, how the electoral map looks as of now.

  • Hillary Clinton is surely (very much) to win Delaware, Illinois, New York, and Washington and secure 64 electorates.
  • Donald Trump is surely (very much) to win Louisiana, Montana, and South Dakota and secure 14 electorates.
  • States like, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New Mexico likely to vote for Clinton, which would give her another 48 to Clinton.
  • States like Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and parts of Nebraska are likely to vote for Trump, which would give him another 81 delegates.
  • Clinton is likely to secure 90 electoral votes from the non-swing Democratic States like California, whereas Trump is likely to receive 69 electoral votes from the non-swing Republican States like Wyoming.

The above calculations give Clinton a lead with 202 electorates to Trump’s 164. Battle would be very tough for 172 delegates from states like Arizona, Florida, Ohio, and more.

The above data from RCP suggest Clinton is clear favourite to win the race.
