Here’s some unlikely math: Say every state in the U.S. that’s even somewhat contested goes to Donald Trump in November. Say he wins Ohio and Florida and manages to hang onto potential southern defectors like North Carolina and Georgia. Only in that case, on Trump’s best possible Election Day, would Utah’s four Electoral College votes determine the outcome of the 2016 presidential race.

Dallas Morning News won’t endorse Trump for president

Breaking with decades of historical precedent of endorsing the Republican Party nominee in the general election, the editorial board of The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday declared Donald Trump unfit for office and undeserving of the GOP brand.

The newspaper’s editorial board, which endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Republican primary, ripped into Trump for his “admiration” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and disavowal of trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as well as national security ideas that it says “put sound bites over sound policy.”

Has Trump hit his ceiling?

Donald Trump has run head-first into an electoral wall.

In poll after poll, Trump isn’t even close to winning a majority of the vote. While he’s narrowed the gap between his campaign and Hillary Clinton in recent weeks, in the past 21 national polls conducted using conventional phone or internet methodologies over the last five weeks, Trump’s high-water mark in a head-to-head matchup with Clinton is 44 percent.

A new 50-state poll shows exactly why Clinton holds the advantage over Trump

With nine weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump is within striking distance in the Upper Midwest, but Hillary Clinton’s strength in many battlegrounds and some traditional Republican strongholds gives her a big electoral college advantage, according to a 50-state Washington Post-SurveyMonkey poll.

The survey of all 50 states is the largest sample ever undertaken by The Post, which joined with SurveyMonkey and its online polling resources to produce the results. The state-by-state numbers are based on responses from more than 74,000 registered voters during the period of Aug. 9 to Sept. 1.

The fight for Ohio in the 2016 election is a showcase for how Republicans and Democrats are navigating a deeply divided electorate.

The presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton descended on Thursday, giving a glimpse of their approaches in one of just a handful of states that will be decisive in the presidential race and which party controls the Senate.

Donald Trump has hired David Bossie, the president of Citizens United, as his new campaign deputy manager, a move that signals the Republican candidate is likely preparing to go hard after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Trump announced the hire during a phone call with the Washington Post.
