TPM: The Electoral Map Is Looking Pretty Darn Good For Clinton Right Now

2. Oh, Lordy!

It is, once again, the same old tired variation of an electoral map.

If Donald Trump is, according to recent polls (like from CNN), losing so resoundingly—self-identified Republican (close to 20 percent); white women; all female voters; non-whites—that map is looking more advantageous for him.

In other words, these declining Republican support numbers would put a lot more states in play for potential Democratic pickups—not just Arizona and Georgia but also Indiana and Missouri and Montana and even Texas and South Carolina and quite possibly more.

The recent numbers on just how bad Trump is suggests he is an electoral bomb who can deliver a 40-state landslide—with an electoral-vote score which would reach 400—to the nominee from the Democratic Party. But, of course, this best-case scenario has Democrats retaining the 26 Obama/2012 states with a pickup of North Carolina. Less than 30 states.

Oh, Lordy!
