Hillary Clinton enters the general election with considerable advantages over Donald Trump: She has a stronger and better-funded organization, and the electoral map is tilted in her favor. If Clinton can fortify her support in these areas, Trump's electoral map may disintegrate.Economic issues remain a rare area of strength for Trump in the general election. A New York Times/CBS News poll last month found that a majority of voters viewed Trump unfavorably and lacked confidence in his ability to be commander in chief. The trickiest debate may come over Middle East issues, as Sanders has called periodically for a break from the traditional U.S. policy of lock-step support for Israel. That means his most realistic path to victory runs not only through Ohio, a perennial battleground, but also through states like Michigan and Pennsylvania that have not voted Republican in a generation.
