PhotoWASHINGTON — President Trump took aim at reporters on Thursday for more than an hour at an impromptu White House news conference. ‘It was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.’Mr. Trump won 306 Electoral College votes, well above the threshold needed to secure the presidency but well behind several of his most recent predecessors. President Barack Obama won 332 Electoral College votes in 2012 and 365 four years earlier. When a reporter pressed Mr. Trump on the claim, he laid the blame elsewhere. But the poll is an outlier, giving Mr. Trump an approval rating several points higher than others in the field.
