Clinton: 288; Trump: 174. That's where the NBC’s electoral map stands following the outlet’s latest round of polling last week from seven battleground states. NBC writes:
The states in Hillary Clinton's column now add up to 288 electoral votes, which exceeds the 270 needed to win the presidency. Donald Trump, meanwhile, is at 174 electoral votes, and an additional 76 are in the Tossup category. Our last map, back in July, showed Clinton with a 255-190 advantage — so Clinton's tally has gone up since the conventions, while Trump's has declined.
Of interest, NBC has North Carolina, Colorado, and Virginia in the “lean Democratic” category, along with key Rust Belt States—Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
In the “tossup” category: Georgia, Florida, and Ohio.
The "likely Democratic" states account for 200 electoral votes, while the "likely Republican" votes only account for 133; there's also 88 "lean Democratic" electoral votes to just 41 "lean Republican."
