TheElectoral CollegeVote

The Electoral College decides who wins the election. It consists of 538 electors, with a majority of 270 electoral votes being required to elect the President. Each state is worth a number of electoral votes equal to the size of its Congressional delegation, and in all but Nebraska and Maine the winner of the popular vote in each state wins all of the electoral college votes on offer. The winner of the electoral college votes in each state is projected based on national and state-level polls. FAQ | Methodology

TheNational PollsAverage

Though the election is decided at the state level, the national polling average is a good indication of where each of the candidates stand and whether their campaign is gaining or losing momentum. Polls included in the average are weighted by a number of factors, giving more importance to newer polls with larger samples from pollsters with good track records. FAQ | Methodology
