If the election were held this week, the project estimates that Clinton's odds of securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency at more than 95 percent, and by a margin of 118 Electoral College votes. The results mirror other Electoral College projections, some of which estimate Clinton's chance of winning at around 90 percent. For the Trump campaign there are a handful of states the Republican candidate must win if he is to cobble together enough states to win the White House. Without Trump’s own woes, the Clinton emails may well have become the central issue in the campaign. And while Trump's support among white men is strong, among white women his lead is negligible.
