Florida- 29 votes
Donald Trump wins this crucial state giving the Republicans a very strong lead.
Barack Obama won this state in 2012 with a slim margin of 0.88 percent that fell from the margin of 2.82 percent when he won in 2008. In terms of electoral diversity, the state of Florida can be divided into three parts, with South Florida aligning towards the Democrats, North Florida towards Republicans and central Florida being a swing region. In both 2008 and 2012, Obama won Florida on account of winning a large percentage of the African-American and Latino votes here. In 2004 though, Republican George Bush won the state with a very thin margin and it was the first time a Republican had won the state since George Bush Sr. sixteen years back. The Florida elections in 2000 is widely remembered as one of the only times when a president won the electoral college votes while losing out in the popular votes.
Pennsylvania- 20 votes
While Clinton is still leading, the margin has been growing thinner consistently. At present she has 50.7 percent votes followed by Donald Trump winning 42.2 percent votes.
The Democrats have been ruling over this state for the past six elections. In 2012, Barack Obama won with 52.2 percent of votes as opposed to Mitt Romney’s 46 percent. Last time a Republican had won Pennsylvania was in 1888 with George Bush Sr. won with a thin margin.
Ohio- 18 votes
Donald Trump wins this crucial state with 53.3 percent votes.
Ohio has consistently been considered to be the most crucial state for a presidential win. Since 1964 the state has voted for the winning party every election. In 2012, Obama won the elections in Ohio with a margin of 2.98 percent. Considered to be one of the most diverse states of the US, Ohio reportedly has the potential to determine the overall political mood in the country.
North Carolina- 15 votes
Donald Trump wins the key state 51.2 percent votes.
North Carolina is another very important swing state. In 2012, it swung from Obama to Republican Mitt Romney who won the state with 50.39 percent of the votes. Prior to the 2008 elections when the state elected Democrat Obama with 79.23 percent votes, it was a firmly Republican supporting state.
