Clinton Holds Clear Edge In 50-State Poll

A new 50-state Washington Post/SurveyMonkey poll shows Donald Trump is within striking distance in the Upper Midwest, but Hillary Clinton’s strength in many battlegrounds and some traditional Republican strongholds gives her a big electoral college advantage.

“Clinton leads by four points or more in 20 states plus the District of Columbia. Together they add up to 244 electoral votes, 26 shy of the 270 needed to win. Trump leads by at least four points in 20 states as well, but those add up to just 126 electoral votes. In the 10 remaining states, which hold 168 electoral votes, neither candidate has a lead of four percentage points or better.”

Also interesting: “The poll finds Gary Johnson is poised to garner significant support. He is currently receiving at least 15 percent support in 15 states.”
