Clinton drops below 270 in CNN electoral map

Hillary Clinton has dropped below 270 electoral votes in CNN’s electoral map when adding up the states that are either solidly Democratic or leaning in her direction.

{mosads}The projection gives Clinton 268 electoral votes when using this measure, according to the latest snapshot of CNN’s “Road to 270” map.

Donald Trump has 204 electoral votes when combining the states either solidly Republican or leaning in his direction.

The six remaining battleground contests are Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and the 2nd congressional district in and around Omaha, Neb.

In CNN’s new electoral map, Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, Ohio and Utah all moved from being battlegrounds to leaning Republican. 

New Hampshire moved from leaning Democratic to becoming a battleground.

Many recent polls have shown the race tightening with just four days to go before Election Day.

Trump has been closing in on Clinton’s lead both nationally and in several battleground states.

Although the Democratic nominee still holds an advantage, CNN’s map now shows more opportunity for the GOP nominee to reach the required number of electoral votes to secure the presidency.
