Hillary Clinton has built a sizeable lead over Donald Trump in their battle for control of the Electoral College map Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin.

According to a recent Freedoms Light House survey, the presumptive Democratic nominee leads in those key swing states as well as in electoral vote rich states California, New York and Illinois, for an overall lead of 227 to 180 with 131 votes still considered tossups.

A recent 270 to Win poll tells a similar story, with Clinton topping that electoral vote survey 253 to 191.

The 270 map represents an aggregate average of such ratings as Sabato's Crystal Ball, Cook Political Report, NBC Political Unit, Rothenberg-Gonzales Political Unit and the Washington Post.

In that poll, Clinton again leads in all the aforementioned states, as well as Pennsylvania, where Democrats have won every presidential election since 1992.
