Just using the easily available map from the http://uselectionatlas.org/TOOLS/evcalc.php site, with Democrats in red and Republicans in blue, I used polls posted on wikipedia, except in Oregon there were two, and I used the one favoring Hillary based on likely history. Where there are no polls, 2012 results are shown. Darker colors indicate a larger vote % for the leader only. Iowa is tied.

Have you read about Trump's 15-state strategy?
http://truthfeed.com/?p=4574
It includes NY and CA, and notice the rubes think it is "brilliant!"
It's not just that these two states are solidly behind the Blue Wall, they are the two most expensive media markets in the country!
Notice how the rubes believe it is brilliant because Clinton will have to spend money defending these two states. They can't grasp how much more you have to spend in a state where nearly the entire political machine is in the hands of your opponent.
They should be paying attention to this little bit of news that seems to have been missed by all the cable news that's too busy fawning over the Talking Yam -
Quote:Trump camp concedes it's low on money
Donald Trump's campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he won't have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.
The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trump's senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch last week, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Examiner. The admission suggests that Trump will be far more dependent on the GOP brass for money than he has led voters to believe, but it's consistent with his reliance on the Republican National Committee to provide a ground game in battleground states.
So much for Trump not being beholden to the money guys.
Hopefully, in a week from now, the Dems can take full advantage of the Trump campaign going dark for a couple of months.
Sure Trump will continue to get his free coverage from the media, but he does that by his 'Trump attributes' which will provide the exact conformational bias to what the Dems will be painting him with. By the time they get going again, it will be sleepy August and he'll be wearing the paint that will make "Romney 47%" seem tame.
