This seems a pretty pointless exercise as none of us have the insider gut feelings that are necessary to make it worthwhile. Surely these are just very crude extrapolations from historic snap-shot polls that none of us have much faith in to start with? The result will depend upon turnout and indeed differential turnout rather as our Brexit vote did. I regret I think all these projections look like wet-finger-in-air garbage. Some of us do have quite a bit of knowledge due to being, er, well, a bit obsessive about this election  Well we will compare your projections to the end result. Do you have doubts about Clinton and her holding of office? I fully understand your desire to beat trump of course. |

Will answer later. |

I do not wish to derail it or abuse participants, but I can't see how this can be engaged in other than by outright and total guesswork. |

Clinton: 286
Trump: 250
Clinton highest: 69.3%
Trump highest: 67.2%
I'm working on the basis that Trump takes Florida but Clinton takes Ohio. That might sounds a bit odd but I've got a gut feeling.

Number of Electoral College Votes:
Clinton: 308
Trump: 230
Other: 0
If there is a tie for winner of the above, then the decider is done by predicting the highest percentage in a state (excluding District of Columbia) for either candidate. To differentiate clearly, this % should be to at least 1 decimal place.
Clinton highest %: 65.1
Trump highest %: 67.1

outright and total guesswork. Why would you believe or say something that's so obviously not true? |

Clinton highest %: 61.5%

States - Obama '12 bar Ohio & Iowa but plus North Carolina
(Fairly boring - Sabato + ME2)

Clinton: 259 Trump: 279 Other: 0 Clinton highest %: 62.9 Trump highest %: 68.4 Well done Thanks Seriously underestimated Trump, but then who didn't. Clinton got 62.3 in Hawaii, and Trump 70.1 in Wyoming so my combined faults are 2.3 - not too shabby. |
