Delegate Count

These Swing States Could Decide the Whole Election. Who's Winning Them Now? by: Jackson Richman, 8/7/16, AAN

Like any presidential election, this one is expected to be decided by several states.

According to the election simulation website “270 to Win”, in a toss-up scenario without the battleground states included, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would receive 217 electoral votes, while Republican nominee Donald Trump would receive 191.

As seen on the map below, there are nine states likely still undecided. The following chart outlines the number of electoral votes after each candidate wins in states where expected (example: Clinton in California, Trump in Texas, etc…). The following projection is based on the Real Clear Politics average in each swing state. Based on those polls, we can estimate which candidate would prevail if the election was held today.
