Ref's Battleground Index

*Click here to see why I'm assuming close states break for Trump

In all battlegrounds, Trump leads by 1.2 points. My projection assumes Scenario 3 + Nevada and 3 of Maine's 4 electoral votes

Using polls alone, Trump is at 275 electoral votes.

Scenario 1 (270EV): Trump loses CO, PA, ME and NV, wins FL, NC, OH, WI, IA, AZ - Trump +1.70

Scenario 2 (276EV): Trump loses CO, PA, ME, wins FL, OH, NC, WI, IA, NV, AZ - Trump +1.88

Scenario 3 (269EV): Trump loses PA, ME, NV and WI, wins FL, OH, NC, IA, AZ, CO - Trump +2.76

*The point of poll averages should be to determine the closest approximation to the actual race going on. Other poll average websites include polls from many weeks, or even months before. That can be okay, but only if the race hasn't shifted. Once a race shifts, only the most recent polls should be averaged.

*Registered voter polls are not included in these averages unless there are only registered voter polls or only one likely voter poll.
