All of these are from May 2015.

My first presidential confidence map:



Did pretty well on picking Safe R and Lean R states, all but Colorado voted republican. The Toss-Ups ended up splitting down the middle like they should - FL, OH, and IA voted R; VA, NV, NH voted D. All the Safe D states voted democratic. My error was in the Lean D states, almost all of which ended up voting republican in the end. But at least I placed all of them in the Lean category and not the safe category.

My first senate confidence map:



Pretty pleased with this. The Toss-Ups again split down the middle, with NV voting D and FL voting R. Of the states that I gave an advantage to one party in, all but NH and WI were leaned in the right direction.

My first gubernatorial confidence map:



Not bad here. The Toss-Ups split down the middle yet again, with NC voting D and MO voting R. In the 10 races I gave an advantage to one party in, 7 ended up being correct.

Good job! Especially since you could have had no idea who either of the major candidates would be (though Hillary Clinton would have been a good bet to win the Dem nod then).

I'd say hardly anyone saw the Trump train coming.
