2016 Election
As the general election nears, polls shows Hillary
Clinton gaining significant margins over Donald Trump,
particularly in traditional swing states such as Colorado, Florida,
New Hampshire, North Carolina and Virginia. If Clinton maintains
her strength in these states as well as Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin, she is poised to win the Electoral College with a
substantial margin.
Democrats
With Clinton’s lead continuing to grow across the country,
the campaign has begun to shift resources away from historically
contentious states and to invest in states that have always voted
Republican in presidential contests in recent decades. In addition
to financial resources, Clinton has sent Vice Presidential nominee
Tim Kaine to campaign in traditionally red states
including Idaho, Missouri, Georgia, Arizona and Texas. The last
time a Democrat won Arizona and Missouri was in 1996 when President
Bill Clinton was re-elected.
