    In the EC he is still over 100 from victory on 167
    Clinton will win the national vote comfortably because West Coast.

    It is using real data, as the projections for each state changes as the votes come in. They have FL as a slam dunk for Trump now, which must be based on what their model expects from the missing votes.

    On present trends her lead in California will be down on Obama's lead in 2012, she needs a really big lead there to be sure of overtaking Trump in the national popular vote

    Jack's ARSE is no good for anti-establishment candidates facing off against the establishment. He was out by 5 points on Sindy, 5 points on Brexit and looks to be out by a similar amount in the US.

    I presently stand to win a little over that if the winner of the popular vote loses the EC, so no am not going to risk that thankyou. As I said my bet wins either way (though may come back to you once the California returns are in). However if Trump falls just short in Michigan or Pennsylvania but cuts Clinton's lead in California it is certainly possible he wins the popular vote but not the EC
