Trump + Gary Johnson outperformed Hillary in the following states she won: Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico (but not Virginia). All of these states (including Virginia) should be “in play” next year.
Regarding Maine....
Maine splits it’s electoral votes.
Candidate Trump won Maine’s Second Congressional district by 10 points. It covers 80% of Maine and is 27,000 square miles in size, making the 2nd district the largest congressional district in area east of the Mississippi River.
Trump won one electoral vote as a result.
Hillary won the more liberal First Congressional district, in the southeastern part of the state....20% of the land mass. aka “North Massachusetts.” Hillary won one electoral vote as a result.
Hillary ran far more TV ads than Donald Trump and as a result, she won Maine’s popular vote by 2.9%, earning her two additional electoral votes.
It’s quite possible President Trump could take the entire state of Maine next year. Candidate Trump and his family visited Maine’s Second Congressional District a number of times during the campaign.
