Here’s a nice way to end the week after what has been a rather tumultuous few days.
-New Hampshire (4 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"
-Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"
- Virginia (13 electoral votes) moves from "battleground" to "lean Democrat"
-That adds 37 more electoral votes to Clinton's total and puts her at 273 electoral votes -- just ahead of the needed 270 electoral votes to win the White House.

If Donald Trump was to win all the remaining battleground states on the map, he'd still be shy of the 270 votes needed to win the White House which means he is going to have to pick off at least one of the states currently leaning in Hillary Clinton's direction in addition to running the table in those battlegrounds.
I think CNN is being a bit too conservative with their polling, 538 has a much rosier outlook on the so-called battleground states. But I’ll still take CNN’s new standings as every little bit helps move us forward...in the right direction..
