Hillary Clinton has seized a commanding electoral vote lead over Donald Trump in their bitter 2016 presidential election race for the White House according to various vote map projections and predictions. These numbers can remain the same at least until the first presidential debate at the end of September takes place, an opportunity for either Trump to bounce back or Clinton to extend her apparent lead.

A new Real Clear Politics composite sketch of polls finds Clinton now topping Trump 272 electoral votes to 154 with 112 votes still considered too close to call in the battle to become President Barack Obama's successor.

A Freedom's Lighthouse electoral vote map projection also shares similar results giving Clinton 273 electoral votes, Trump 154 electoral votes and 111 remaining tossup electoral votes. Here is the illustration:

Clinton up 10 Points in Quinnipiac Poll

Meanwhile, with less than three months to go before Election Day a recent Quinnipiac University poll finds Clinton now tops Trump by 10 points in a general election survey, eclipsing the magical threshold of better than 50 percent support.

In a head-to-head showdown, Clinton bests Trump 50 percent to 41 percent with 90 percent of all voters insisting their decision is firmly made in terms of who they plan to support.

Overall, Trump has a likeability rate of just 47 percent with 59 percent of all respondents agreeing "the way Donald Trump talks appeals to bigotry."

In addition, 74 percent of all respondents insist the Republican nominee should release his tax returns. Pollsters also found Clinton is now winning by 24 percent among female voters and Trump's lead among men is down to just six percent.

The New York City business mogul also lags far behind 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney and other prior Republican nominees among non-white voters, gaining just 15 percent support.

Overall, 71 percent of respondents agree Clinton has the right experience to be president compared to just 32 percent who feel the same way about Trump.
