Would you rather be ignorant of trends? Do you want to believe there can only be one possible winner, no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary? I find it intriguing.
Let me word it a different way for you

You need 270 areas to take control

Clinton has 169 pretty much secured and an extra 55 are likely
Trump has 97 pretty much secured and an extra 23 are likely

Thats 224:120 with 194 unclear areas.

It doesnt matter that Trump is nearing Clinton in popularity polls, because, that is not how the winner is decided.
