Updated Election Forecast: Clinton Moves Ahead of Trump in VA and FL, Widens Electoral Lead

Polls from some important swing states have been released recently, two of which have influenced the forecast:

On 6/16 a VA poll showed Clinton +3 over Trump.   Combining that with a previous Clinton +4 poll pushed the state from the prior tossup to a lean D.

On 6/21  a FL poll showed Clinton +6. While 6 is a large spread that is normally classified as Likely D, combining that poll with the previous Trump +1 and Clinton +3 moved the state from a tossup to Lean D.

These two changes helped widen Clinton’s lead from 48 (293-245) to 70 (304-234).

Other polls released included:

  • 6/20 UT poll Trump +9 confirms likely R
  • 6/21 PA poll Clinton +3 confirms lean D
  • 6/21 OH Poll Clinton +2 confirms tossup
