Emerson College Polling predicts electoral landslide for Clinton

Emerson College Polling is predicting an Electoral College landslide for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. 

{mosads}Emerson College predicts Clinton will win the Electoral College, 323 to 215. 

A presidential candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the White House. 

Emerson took into account recent polling results in battleground and other states, combined with RealClearPolitics polling averages. 

Emerson predicts Clinton will win the swing states of Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. 

Republican nominee Donald Trump is predicted to win Iowa and Ohio. 

In battleground Senate races, Emerson predicts that Democrats will come out with 50 or more total seats — enough to claim the Senate majority if Clinton is elected and Tim Kaine, as vice president, becomes the tie-breaking vote. 

Emerson’s final round of polls suggest that Democrats will flip GOP seats in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
