Trump is probably getting a minor bounce, but Clinton still has 278 EVs at least leaning towards her, and one of these changes is actually in her favor:

FL: Lean D -> Toss-Up
ME-AL: Lean D -> Safe D

I am not using the map for percentages.  The lighter shades are my tossups, showing a guess of how each will go.  



I am assuming a slight trend to Trump, and looked as past elections.  I have it at:

Clinton:  269
Trump:  269

I was not trying to come out with a tie.

A stronger trend to Trump and he wins; the tide shifts slightly to Clinton, she wins.  A tidal wave and well ....  If there is a 1980 style shift, it will go for Trump.

I would also be watching to see what the CD's in Maine and Nebraska do.  It may come down to one of those.

The polling averages combined with the 538 odds obligate me to put NV back in the Toss-Up category (Trump actually leads in the 538 now-cast of NV). However, Hillary is still a very clear favorite in the election, as there is no indication whatsoever that Trump has caught up in WI, PA, NH, or NM. Trump needs one of those states to actually win.

In less surprising news, I have decided to lock in MO, MT, and SC.

When it is all said and done, I believe Trump will carry the state of Utah.

Edit: And Arizona.

Putting a thumb on the scale for Trump in Iowa, Ohio, and NE-2. Still a long way to go for him though - he needs to take both North Carolina and Florida - I would put NC in Clinton's column if the election were being held today. He then needs to dislodge one of the lean Dem states and potentially supplement it.

If he takes PA - no supplement needed
If he takes WI - needs Nevada, or Alaska+ME-2, or Alaska alone if he's willing to settle for 269-269
If he takes NM - needs Nevada and Alaska
If he takes NH - needs Nevada and Alaska for 269-269, ME-2 as well for 270.

Some tightening, but Hillary will almost certainly be okay. Not many Ohio polls, assuming we don't get anything more, I'll tilt it to Trump.

Well, I know I said I wasn't going to do it on IRC last night, but ultimately with the data from republican-leaning Quinnipiac University, the National poll from Monmouth, and the current 538 now-cast, I am going to put all of North Carolina, Nevada, and Florida in Clinton's column.

Alaska had a Clinton +3 poll recently that made dems very excited, but it hasn't been backed up by anything, and at the end of the day, Alaska has only voted for one Democrat since its inception as a state - LBJ in 1964. Hillary is not winning by an LBJ-esque margin, and it just seems that on a night where he is winning in GA, AZ, UT, OH, IA, and NE-2, Trump losing in Alaska would be very weird. It may happen, sure, but I just can't predict it.

ME-2 is obviously very close, but I have to make a pick at this point. Ultimately, considering the fact that Clinton may get a mini-mini-surge from Comey's 2nd non-indictment, the fact that Maine hasn't split its electoral votes before, and the fact that Clinton leads or ties in three of the top four polls on 538 by weight, I am giving this one to Clinton. But I wouldn't be surprised by a Trump upset.

My final prediction shows Clinton winning by a margin of 323 EVs to 215 EVs. This does not take into account the possibility of faithless electors throughout the nation.

Prediction scores have (finally) been posted.  Many apologies for taking so long to do this. We had not 51-state correct predictions and only one 50-state correct prediction -> from RobLewis and that was made on Oct 5.  Congratulations.

A call-out to user norlion whom predicted 49 correct states - in December of 2015.

Top overall score is Dav64 with 48 correct states and 39 correct percentages.

Enjoy,
Dave
