An electoral map from a popular poll guru shows that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would handily beat businessman Donald Trump in a head-to-head election. The map, from University of Virginia Professor Larry Sabato, shows Clinton beating Trump 347-to-191 in the Electoral College, the system the U.S. uses to choose presidents. A winning candidate must receive 270 votes. Sabato says Trump will strike out in all of the so-called swing states, including Florida, Ohio and Virginia.

Trump would be least-popular major-party nominee in modern times By Philip Rucker and Robert Costa March 31 at 10:51 AM https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-would-be-least-popular-major-party-nominee-in-modern-times/2016/03/30/b4b077e0-f5e7-11e5-9804-537defcc3cf6_story.html If Donald Trump secures the Republican presidential nomination, he would start the general election campaign as the least-popular candidate to represent either party in modern times. Three-quarters of women view him unfavorably. So do nearly two-thirds of independents, 80 percent of young adults, 85 percent of Hispanics and nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Those findings, tallied from Washington Post-ABC News polling, fuel Trump’s overall 67 percent unfavorable rating — making Trump more disliked than any major-party nominee in the 32 years the survey has been tracking candidates. Head-to-head matchups show Hillary Clinton, as well as her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, leading Trump, often by double digits. Even his two remaining fellow GOP contenders this week backed away from earlier promises to support the eventual nominee. And with each passing day, Trump makes moves that add further uncertainty to his ability to pivot to the general election. His defiant defense this week of his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who was charged with battery for yanking a female reporter, as well as his remarks Wednesday that women who get illegal abortions should be punished, might play well with his followers — but could further alienate the broader electorate. </snip> Read the rest here: washingtonpost.com
