An electoral college map released Thursday from the University of Virginia Center for Politics projected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton winning the November election by a landslide.
UVA altered its map to reflect recent changes in the likely political leanings of certain states, but Clinton still easily came out on top.
Larry Sabato, director of the UVA Center for Politics, explained what made the map different from most polls that reflect the more fickle tendencies of the electorate. The UVA electoral map focused on "the electoral fundamentals and fixed elements of politics that predetermine most votes, especially partisanship, demographics, and strong forces shaping the political landscape."
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saw a brief bump in the polls after the party's convention in July, but that lead later slipped as Clinton regained ground after the Democrats' convention the following week

Exactly! Wish more people understood that. Their strategy is to manufacture a lead with bogus polls accompanied by media created “controversies”, then try to hide her from the public as much as possible. Here phony “press event” proves that—it was not a press conference, but a love fest with the “minority journalists” who applauded and asked not a single relevant question. She is defective, and cannot be shown to the voters.
Good old gay Sabato. Always good for some home cookin’.
I think we make a big mistake by looking at these rallies as an indicator. Not all polls are wrong. Trump has to step up his game. But at this point, I do think most everyone has made up their mind. If conservatives sit it out, like they usually do, then we only have ourselves to blame. If she does win by a landslide...America is already over.
Experts Announce That Reagan Cant Win An Election
They’re telling us a little early who’s going to win. I, for one, will not be surprised if none of the above ends up as president.
The leftists have already made up their mind about Hillary - it doesn't matter how many lies she's told, how much money she's made selling state secrets or weapons to our enemy, or how many deaths she's ordered at the hands of an assassin, they're going to vote for her. The only satisfaction we'll get is when she breaks every campaign promise and makes their lives miserable when they have to live on the streets because they can't find a job.
This is the same country that elected Obama twice......and the demographics haven’t gotten any better.
Lol. Love it!

Like the dead vote and the illegal alien vote.......
You’d think the left would be happy with Trump in the race and wouldnt want the press or republican party to try to replace him. I call nonsense to this.
Sabato is a democrat/Clinton hack. He was almost always wrong during the primaries, so why would anyone believe him now?
Hold on! You mean to say Yahoo, who is a friend of Conservatives and ABSOLUTELY LOVES Donald Trump, is calling for a Hillary blowout???!?
OMG! it’s over.
Keep going to the gym and keep going to the range.
How foolish are all these fools going to look when Trump wins in a landslide?
Well, the media/pollsters-for-Hillary for darn sure don’t want to show THIS result:
Trump 33478 votes 67%
Clinton 9788 Votes 19%
Undecided or other 6739 votes 13%

Check out their methodology in the link.
“Yeah, because Sabato was so accurate during the primaries.”
In 2012 Sabato called every state correctly except for Florida and Virginia.
Thanks! :-)
