If the polls closed right at this moment (which they won't) and if the results in each state perfectly mirrored the current RealClearPolitics average of polls in each state (which they won't), Hillary Clinton would be elected president by an electoral college margin of 8 votes. From her high in the polls a week or two ago, Clinton's leads in a number of critical battleground states have collapsed or evaporated entirely. The election could come down to one state with four electoral college votes that flips from Clinton to Donald Trump and, boom: A 269-269 electoral college tie, and a vote by the House of Representatives to decide on the next president -- who, given the composition of the House, would almost certainly be Donald Trump.
On Thursday, that Clinton state with four electoral college votes raised its hand. Hi, New Hampshire! Two new polls, from Boston Globe-Suffolk University and WBUR-MassInc put the Granite State at a virtual tie, with the continuing trend in the state away from Clinton. That's Trump's 269th electoral college vote. Or, really, his 270th: Polling in Maine's second congressional district (which allocates one electoral college vote separately) has Trump in the lead. He wins the states he holds now and that one in Maine? President Donald J. Trump....

She is 69 years old. This is it.
WashPo calling in all the dirty tricksters to up their game and coordinate their 11th hour attacks.
LOL!
Worst case of suicide ever. Love it!
I think she will probably be boarding an airplane for parts unknown .......
Oh, check CGI’s bank book - probably will be empty.
He’s gonna be a whole lot closer next Wednesday!
Nope. The 2020 nominee will be the wookie. The leftists will want to undo all the good President Trump will do and they’ll want to do it in a hurry.
I’m tempted to put $100 on that now. I’m not, but I’m tempted.
The author says the polls won’t stay here....he’s right, of course.
We have 4 more days to go higher!
last time Hannity called it for Romney. I think perhaps he is just being conservative....
No, it will be Fauxcahontas, Corey Booker, or the Mexican from Texas (can’t think of his name right now).
Castro. That’s the guy’s name.
Except Philadelphia, apparently.
“Listening to Hannity tonight he called it a thin line to get the electoral votes to win. Downer.”
He does not want anyone to become complacent. Get out and vote.
Personal opinion: Many, if not most of the polls have been cooked for most of the campaign. Pollsters are mindful that they must get the correct result, but they are willing to make that be their ‘final’ poll. So most the polls have been cooked in Hillary’s favor all along, and they are gradually and slowly adjusting so as to not make it too obvious. Add to that, that Trumps support is probably understated by the non-response factor.
I firmly believe that a 269-269 vote will give us Acting President Pence as the Democrats work with Never Trumpers to block/delay the vote.
This could easily happen as each state gets one vote, but the state needs a quorum to be able to cast its vote and if enough states fail to get a quorum then the final vote can’t even be taken. Delay, stall, and prevent 26 votes.
Trump commercials playing in NY now. He isn’t giving up on anyplace. Hillary has been buying time in NY for weeks now. How odd...
Still a Cruzombie or just a #NEVERTRUMPER?
Tell me where I'm wrong in what I said? Why will it Never Happen?
One way it won't happen is if the GOP caves and goes for Hillary.
