Trump's Incredible Shrinking Map

[Shivaraja]

Six of the 11 battleground states are now in Hillary Clinton's pocket.

Clinton leads Donald Trump by 5 points or greater in POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average in Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. If the Democratic nominee won those six states, plus all the other reliably Democratic states President Barack Obama captured in both 2008 and 2012, she would eclipse the 270-electoral-vote threshold and win the presidency.

Even if Trump ran the table in the remaining battleground states — Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio — he would fall short of the White House if he cannot flip another state where Clinton currently leads in the polls.

Add to the mix some recent polling in AZ and GA showing Clinton ahead, and McMullin (a Mormon candidate) topping the polls in Utah, and Trump's paths to the White House are all but closed for good.

3. Trump is trying to open up Wisconsin

of course it might be difficult if he is fighting with Paul Ryan.

WI is shown as toss up in 270towin. It really doesn't look like a toss up state to me.
