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

Yeah, yeah, Trump’s losing and had his worst week ever. Blah, blah, blah. Been hearing that since day one.
Actually, it is my thesis that Hillary has already been elected. We’ll go through a fake little ‘election’ in November, but the numbers are already in.
The problem with them scewing the polls to look like a loss for Trump is going to drive people to the polls in droves to make sure Trump doesn’t lose!!!!
You have Trump winning New Mexico?
Bush made gigantic efforts there twice and barely lost it once and barely won it once.
Does Trump even have a campaign in New Mexico? Bush relied on thousands of Texas volunteers working for weeks and months in New Mexico to make it close.
Haven’t heard a word about it from the Trump campaign and the demographics have gotten worse since the Bush years.
Sabato who is always pulling for the DUmmies.
I think you are exactly right except for NY. Either way, Trump wins.
He's on FOX! /s
If Trump is nominated, then everything we think we know about presidential nominations is wrong.
This just proves Trump's brilliance and talent and trust in the American people to be totally fed up with the corrupt anti-American government we've endured for TOO long.
Currently one election betting site has HC at 1/4 and DJT at 11/4.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
And since social Darwinism trumps state powers, if a city or state goes down the tubes because of legislative thievery, then the states can always remove cities from the map or stars from the flag.

Now, seriously, does anyone other than "The Donald" truly believe his fame and fortune are going to get him anywhere in a Republican presidential primary, let alone a general election?
His candidacy has been a joke from the start. He makes for great copy, but so did Jack the Ripper.

Great find/reply. Freepers need to read his predictions about Trump last year to see how wrong he has been re Trump!

Trump can easily amass more votes, but if he doesn't amass them in the right areas, he won't win...
the Pub governors and legislatures across this nation HAD a chance to switch to awarding electoral votes by proportion....iows...if 49% of the votes wanted Trump, he would get those electoral votes...instead of the Witch getting the entire state electoral vote....
I think it would make a difference...
Trump has added millions of new voters to the republican party during the primaries...Clinton’s/dems numbers are down. The Green Party and Libertarian parties are all taking votes AWAY from Clinton. It will be The Donald that wins in a landslide in November...

Wish that were true, but everyone on handouts has been told long ago that Trump will take all their free stuff away. They will be fighting each other to get on the buses and go vote as many times as possible to make sure Trump doesn’t win. They don’t need no stinkin’ rallies to tell them what to do -— just pull the lever for Democrat and on to the next poll.
The only way she wins is thorough massive fraud. I predict she wins.
Until the money runs out.
The media, the establishment liberal progressives (GOP and Democrat) are all in this together to end Trump...He will be the beginning of the end of their chokehold on power and corruption. They MUST engineer and manufacture this crap.
There is no way in hell that a DNC convention, which was more tumultuous and less attended as well as less people watched, has all of a sudden made a 15 point swing for a woman hated by much of the US. The fraud of this is overwhelming.
Ha....not just managing. ....but NUDGE.
They have a whole department of nudge
..some young 20’ something. ...a violinist from India heads it
