Hillary Clinton is still soaring high, popular vote lead tops 2.6 million (and counting)]

At the end of last week, Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead over president-elect Donald Trump had reached 2.5 million. Today, that number has reached 2,620,649. Clinton has 48.2 percent of the vote and Donald Trump has 46.2 percent. One of those numbers continues to go up while the other continues to go down. I cannot tell you that a recount will change who will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017 but I can tell you this—Donald Trump will be a historically unpopular electoral college winner. ..... ...

Make that "Donald Trump will be the historically most unpopular electoral college choice."


Comments include a claim 300,000 votes left to report in CA. Tomorrow is the CA reporting deadline for counties, so expect a big jump.

Clinton’s margin is about to surpass all the Trump votes in 12 states combined.
Clinton Dec. 5 margin = 2,645,046
12 state Trump votes = 2,651,861
In 12 states and DC combined, Trump has 2,664,584 votes.
Tomorrow Clinton could easily surpass 2,750,000 votes.



Time to update this graph after the CA reporting deadline tomorrow. Add NH.
