Clinton expands her battleground-map lead

After one of the craziest weeks we can remember in the 2016 race -- the Access Hollywood audio of Trump, WikiLeaks, the nasty debate in St. Louis, the accusers against Bill Clinton, the accusers against Donald Trump, and plenty of new polls -- here's where the NBC battleground map stands. Hillary Clinton has expanded her lead and now has 287 electoral votes in her column, which is more than the 270 needed to win the White House. Trump has 157 electoral votes in his column, which is down more than 30 for him from last week. And we have 94 electoral votes in Tossup. Last week, our map was Clinton 268, Trump 190, and 80 in Tossup.

ETA: the map itself!

Woot!!

[Tiggeroshii]

1. We just need all the toss-ups plus Texas and Missouri = Trump<100 evs

It is very possible in this election, and with early voting, we are already seeing it begin to happen.


GOTMFV!!!!

[Feeling the Bern]

2. Bigger thing drawn from this map: UTAH IS A TOSSUP!!!

[sarge43]

6. As is AZ, FL, OH, GA, IA

This could be a freakin' massacre. WOOT!

[Feeling the Bern]

7. IA normally goes to the Democrat.

AZ and UT are tossups. Not good for the Trumpenshitter.

[True_Blue]

28. Waiting for my absentee ballot here in AZ

Hopefully it'll come today. I feel like a little kid waiting for Xmas to come.

[DCBob]

3. This clearly shows how Hillary can win without either OH or FL.

[Sancho]

4. Dammit...we're going to win Florida!

Working our ass off down here.

[LenaBaby61]

8. Dammit...we're going to win Florida!

Thank you Sancho & All working so hard own in the sunshine state

[DCBob]

18. Oh I am fairly certain of that also.

But this shows how much of cushion she has... just in case the groper makes a comeback.

[jzodda]

25. Hey there a shout out....

and a thank you! Keep up the great work and we will win this!

[johnnyrocket]

17. I would be sad to lose Ohio, c'mon Ohio, you know what to do!

[DCBob]

19. I suspect we will win Ohio also.

This is going to be massive epic blowout!

[Norbert]

24. Ohio was 60D and 40R when early voting opened this week

Many Ds are doing this because Ohio has a recent history of ridiculous lines waiting to vote.

Ohio will be blue come Nov. 8.

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. My state changed color!

This is encouraging!

[Coolest Ranger]

9. GOTV

people. I want this to be the biggest landslide in history

[brer cat]

11. I'm with you, CR.

Landslide of historic proportions! I want him buried so deep he is unable to open his filthy mouth again.

[Kelselsius]

14. As awesome as a Hillary landslide would be.

There is little chance Trump can do as bad as Walter Mondale in 1984 when he only got 13 electoral votes.

10. *SIGH* I love that blue wall that is the west coast. It's been that way for 25 years.

Hey Trump, I got your wall right here!

[angrychair]

13. +1

[sarae]

15. hah!

We need to solidify our "Blue Wall" here in the Northeast...

One day, there won't be anymore red states left (that's my dream).

[Cryptoad]

12. tick, tick, tick

[yardwork]

16. All the red states are turning pink. Take back Congress!

[Cha]

20. Hey Sarae! Great OP!

October's just full of shocking surprises.. for trump.

[sarae]

21. Hah! He seems so angry now...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

[Cha]

22. President Obama to trump..

[sarae]

23. Come at me bro!

[RandySF]

27. Most smart people are saying that Florida is not a tossup.
