As a two-way race:
Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump
30% -- lead with 40-49% but a margin of 3% or less
40% -- lead with 40-49% but a margin of 4% or more
60% -- lead with 50-54%
70% -- lead with 55-59%
90% -- lead with 60% or more
More realistically, as a three-way race with an unusually-strong Third Party candidacy:
Margin-based plan which I will use hereon for visual clarity. Partisan lead, then Johnson number. This should be easier to read. Colors based upon absolute totals for the leader. Absolute majorities: the color is all that I will show. Anyone with 50% or more of the raw vote wins anyway. Saturation suggests the raw total of the vote: 20% saturation for a lead with 20% to 29% of the vote, 30% for 30% to 39% of the vote, etc.
White is for ties. Even leads in the thirties of 1% or more will be shown in the color of the winner.
Small states in area: CT: D5/6;4
Clinton (D)

Johnson (L)
