I only ever count states where support is over 50% (what I consider the Magic Number) a few days before the election. Just to be safe.

This is early, but...

So for Clinton, that's 8.

For Sanders, that's 1.

Where neither have the Magic Number, 3 (Clinton leads slightly in one, Clinton leads significantly in one Sanders leads significantly in one).

We should be seeing both candidates hit the Non-Magic-Number states hard in the next week, so OK and MI can expect Clinton to be there a lot, and MA will see a lot of Sanders...
