With the US elections less than three weeks away, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican bet Donald Trump are pulling out all the stops to court for more votes from Americans who will go to the polls on Nov. 8. But as election day nears, it would seem that more Americans have more or less decided on who they want as their next leader.
Early surveys have the numbers in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with an analysis by FiveThirtyEight showing that 86 percent of voters are leaning towards Clinton compared to Trump's 13.9 percent. Based on the trending, Clinton is expected to take 340.1 of the electoral votes to Trump's 197.
The survey by Upshot gave Clinton an even bigger lead with 93 percent odds of winning against Trump's seven percent.
PredictWise, Daily Kos, and the Princeton Election Consortium similarly pegged Clinton as the frontrunner giving her a 91 percent, 95 percent, and 99 percent chance, respectively, against her controversial opponent.
Media agencies have similarly conducted their own polls and showed Clinton leading by a good margin. Based on the Reuters/IPSOS survey, Clinton leads Trump by five points at 44.2 percent to Trump's 39.5 percent.
ABC News' poll showed her with a 12 point lead against her opponents Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein.
The USA Today survey showed Clinton enjoying a six-point lead against Trump with 45.2 percent to 39.2 percent.
On the other hand, LA Times/USC has the two neck and neck with 44 percent each.
Clinton has shown strength in states like Arizona, Texas, Georgia, New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, and Minnesota, while Trump has performed well in areas like Arkansas, South Carolina, Missouri, Utah, Georgia, Texas, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio.
This year's election promises to be an eventful one, prompting as much as 50 million Americans to cast their votes come election day.
