    If Trump wins the states he's leading in Silver's "now cast" he's at 265 electoral votes.

    He wins with Pennsylvania, obviously. But, Colorado or Michigan would put him over. So, would New Hampshire and Maine's 2nd congressional district.

    I don't know about the first part of that statement, but the last part is dead-on. She IS contemptuous of much of the American public.

    Oh, stop. Tweet us when he's winning nationally. You're like a kid cackling joyously over each little gift.

    One more state puts him in the electoral college lead.

    The race is tightening for a painfully simple reason

    Clinton is a freakishly unpopular frontrunner

    Despite a couple of days’ worth of bad polls, Clinton still leads in national polling averages. It remains the case that if the election were held tomorrow, she would win.

    In that context, her 42-56 favorable/unfavorable split in national polling is truly, freakishly bad. Political junkies have probably heard the factoid that Clinton is the least-popular major party nominee of all time — except for Donald Trump. But conventional dialogue still underrates exactly how weird this situation is. John McCain, John Kerry, Al Gore, and Bob Dole were all viewed favorably by a majority of Americans on the eve of presidential elections that they lost, and Mitt Romney was extremely close.

    Sorry, but that's a pretty big deal.
