After a brutal week for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Democrat Hillary Clinton maintained a substantial projected advantage in the race to win the Electoral College and claim the U.S. presidency, according to the latest results from the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project released on Saturday.
If the election were held this week, the project estimates that Clinton's odds of securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency at more than 95 percent, and by a margin of 118 Electoral College votes. It is the second week in a row that the project has estimated her odds so high.
The results mirror other Electoral College projections, some of which estimate Clinton's chance of winning at around 90 percent.
For the Trump campaign there are a handful of states the Republican candidate must win if he is to cobble together enough states to win the White House. Among them is Florida, but numerous recent visits to the Sunshine State by Trump and his vice-presidential running mate Mike Pence did little to dent Clinton's advantage in the contest for the state's 29 Electoral College votes. She leads by 6 percentage points, about the same lead she enjoyed last week. Ads by scrollerads.com
Still, the race tightened in Ohio, another important state for Trump. Both Ohio and Nevada were leaning toward Clinton last week but are now toss-ups.
However, Clinton's support grew in North Carolina and Colorado, both of which moved from toss-ups to leaning Clinton.
In the last week, the Trump campaign struggled to respond to allegations from several women that Trump had groped them or made unwanted sexual advances over several decades. Trump said the reports were lies and part of a media conspiracy to defeat him.

November 2016 Clinton has 90 percent chance of winning: Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation
I just learned from cnn that Wesleyan univ. women’s studies program is producing well qualified bridge engineers.
I think I’ll move to Florida.
Probably same polls, just changed the names around.
I think the most amusing was on election night in the early hours before anything had closed the tv pundits were guessing how big a landslide Ms. pantsuit would have.
Trump has no path to 270 ev.
Best election night ever.
Yeah, it’s still fun to watch the election night you-tubers. The Beast was too drunk to tell her psychos to go home.
