ELECTORAL MAP: Hillary Clinton is on track for a blowout win in November [View all]
http://www.businessinsider.com/electoral-college-hillary-clinton-trump-uva-2016-8ELECTORAL MAP: Hillary Clinton is on track for a blowout win in November
An Electoral College map released Thursday from the University of Virginia Center for Politics projected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton winning the November election by a landslide.
UVA altered its map to reflect recent changes in the likely political leanings of certain states, but Clinton still easily came out on top.
Larry Sabato, the director of the UVA Center for Politics, described what he said made the map different from most polls, which reflect the more fickle tendencies of the electorate. The UVA electoral map focused on "the electoral fundamentals and fixed elements of politics that predetermine most votes, especially partisanship, demographics, and strong forces shaping the political landscape."
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saw a brief bump in the polls after the party's convention in July, but that lead slipped as Clinton regained ground after the Democrats' convention the following week.
