It's surprising that even with an average lead of about 3 points in the polls, Clinton can still lose the electoral college.  Trump has managed to hang on in the swing states like Florida and North Carolina.  If he can take those two states, he has a shot, even if he loses the popular vote. 

 

The interesting thing is, if Even McMullen takes Utah, there is a very credible scenario where neither candidate gets 270 electoral votes.   If you go to RealClearPolitics and build your own map, you can easily make it 266 to 266 to 6.

It's a fun little exercise.   Just click on each swing state and throw it to Trump or Clinton.
