Wash Post ABC track poll actually shows HRC winning safely in electoral college

Today they breakdown support for Red States, Blue States and Swing States. HRC has safe lead in Blue States. That is why the poll calls them Blue States. And those Blue States have 278 electoral votes. BINGO!

This poll has Trump leading by one because of his really big lead in Red States with only 180 electoral votes. He leads there 60 to 34. His lead nationally comes from him running up the score in Mississippi etc.

This poll has only five swing states: AZ,UTAH, OHIO, Florida and North Carolina.

So if this poll is accurate HRC is the next President even tho Trump wins the popular vote.

So relax about this poll. It is horrible news for Trump.

Albeit, it seems Clinton is picking up the voters departing the weak independents this year.
