Hillary Clinton still holds a comfortable lead over Donald Trump in the all-important electoral vote tally.

According to a recent Benchmark Politics poll, the former first lady and New York senator still conquers Trump 308 electoral votes to 230, giving her more than enough to surpass the 270 needed to officially emerge as Barack Obama's successor.

Swing States

A great measure of Clinton's lead derives from her leads in such critical states as Florida, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Virginia, where recently named running-mate Tim Kaine hails from.

With the Republican National Convention in the books and the Democratic gathering now in its final hours, a slew of recent general election polls have pegged the race all over the map.

Recent surveys range from Clinton holding a five-point advantage to now trailing Trump by as much as three points.

In addition, a recent Nate Silver polls-plus poll reveals Clinton still holds a 60 percent chance of besting Trump in November, while a The Upshot survey puts her odds at an even better 69 percent.

The Benchmark Politics poll also shows Clinton winning in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and California.

Trump, meanwhile, holds leads in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, Texas and Georgia.

States Still in Play

Meanwhile, a Freedom Lighthouse electoral vote poll puts Clinton up 227 to 180 with 121 votes still up for grabs.

In that poll, Clinton leads in Wisconsin, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Maryland, Michigan and Illinois, while Trump leads in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and South Carolina.

Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania are all considered tossups.

Clinton Takes Center Stage

Clinton is slated to make her own case on Thursday night, when she takes the stage to highlight her platform and policies on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Hours earlier, President Obama performed those honors for his former secretary of state, saluting her as the far superior candidate.

"There has never been a man or a woman - not me, not Bill (Clinton), nobody - more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America," he said.
