Donald Trump’s precarious campaign is reeling from a video tape where the GOP nominee makes lewd comments about sexually assaulting women. Republicans are scampering away like rats on the sinking ship, while some are actually defending his comments. At this point, there is little doubt Donald Trump is possibly the most deplorable candidate ever for the office of the Presidency.

Nationally, Clinton’s lead continues to hold.

State polling indicates a much clearer view of how the race is going on the eve of the second Presidential debate.

In 2012 the electoral map looked very similar with President Obama preparing to defeat Mitt Romney.

As a continuing reminder,

President Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney 332/206 in 2012
Senator Barack Obama defeated Senator John McCain 365/173 in 2008
Governor Bill Clinton defeated President George HW Bush 370/168 in 1992
Governor Ronald Reagan defeated President Jimmy Carter 489/49 in 1980
President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) defeated Senator Barry Goldwater 486/52 in 1964

Running election simulations, Clinton continues to beat Trump nine out of ten times.
