Trump on the Verge of 270

The Real Clear Politics No Toss Ups Electoral map shows Donald Trump on the verge of winning with 272 for Hillary Clinton and 266 for the Donald.

If any battleground state currently in Hillary’s column is switched, say New Mexico, then Trump would be the winner. Tomorrow is going to be a squeaker.

There are a lot of things that could change in this Electoral map when the actual votes are counted. RCP’s toss ups states still number 15 and they have 171 Electoral votes. But when you apply the current RCP poll averages to the toss ups you get a very close finish.

You may disagree with the projection. You may think it requires Trump to win to many close contests. But, as Allahpundit points out, the RCP state averages called the winner of 49 out of 50 states correctly in 2012, missing only Florida. And as to Florida the RCP Average now has Trump up by four points. Florida is a must win for Trump. He cannot possibly win the presidency without it.

Fasten your seat belts. Election Day looks to be interesting.

Going the way this cycle has, this could be another damn Gore v. Bush 2000.

For what it's worth, this map is completely different from other maps being published.  None of them show Trump winning all the southern states not all the middle states.  Quite frankly, I don't think Trump will win NC.

I'd take Gore v Bush over the Beast winning.
