Hillary Clinton holds a commanding 114 vote lead over Donald Trump in the all-important Electoral College battle, a recent poll finds.

According to the Cook Political Report, Clinton bags 304 solid, likely or lean toward either her or fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders votes to Trump's 190 and 44 remaining in the tossup category.

A total of 270 votes are needed to secure victory in November's general election, paving the way to emerge as President Barack Obama's successor.

Clinton on top in Largest States

Cook lists California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington as "solid" for Clinton, while Minnesota rates as likely.

Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin are all considered as "leaning" for Clinton, with Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Ohio the only states remaining as toss ups.

Having recently emerged at the GOP's official presumptive nominee, the poll finds Trump rates a "solid" edge in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

In addition, Indiana and Missouri rate as "likely" for the political neophyte and Arizona and Georgia "lean" in his direction.

A recent NPR analysis also finds the former first lady holding a solid Electoral College advantage.

Research shows Clinton currently has just what she needs to secure her place in history as the first female president, leading Trump in electoral college votes 270 to 191 based on states considered safe, likely and lean for her.

Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio are the only states remaining as toss up in the NPR analysis, which is based on historical trends and demographics reporting and polling data.

Trump Struggling With Latinos

Meanwhile, a recent Pew Hispanic study finds a record 27.3 million Hispanic will be eligible to vote this year, a time when the issue of immigration reform has become among the most hotly debated topics of the entire election season.

Most polls find Trump struggling mightily among Latino voters given his vow to deport millions of immigrants and build a wall along the Mexican border to further keep them out.

A recent Washington Post/Univision poll found eight in 10 Hispanic voters now hold an unfavorable view of him.
