Hillary Clinton building big early voting lead in swing states, potentially insurmount

Hillary Clinton building big early voting lead in swing states

With one week until election day, more than 23 million Americans have already voted - and it's becoming clear that Donald Trump has a lot of ground to make up.

Analysis of early voting trends shows Hillary Clinton is building a potentially insurmountable lead in some traditional battleground states, narrowing Trump's potential path to victory while fighting Trump to a draw in other states that are must-wins for the GOP nominee.

While there are some bright spots for Trump, particularly in the Midwest, early voting is reflecting recent polling that shows Clinton is likely to be the next president, in spite of recent news that the FBI is looking into newly discovered emails of a top aide.

“I'd rather be Clinton than Trump at this point,” said University of Florida Professor Michael McDonald, the head of the U.S. Elections Project and an early voting expert.

Clinton's numbers in swing states with large populations of Latinos and college-educated white people are looking especially good.

Hopefully with each day's early voting, we'll get a clearer picture of where things are at. It seems like this FBI - Comeygate - email nothing could grind on....while the Trump-Russia connection may not get much traction.

there are reporters and tech people out there that will continue to dig deeper.

they are not just going to take an unnamed fbi source's word for it. there is an internal struggle in the fbi right now between pro-trump partisans and those that believe comey overstepped his bounds or at least should be upfront about investigations taking place within both campaigns.
