Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has a strong chance to win the White House in November, according to analysis released Wednesday by statistics site 538.
Clinton is set to beat Republican nominee Donald Trump, earning a 75.3 percent chance against 24.7 percent for Trump. This marks the beginning of Clinton’s third rise in the ratings since June 8. Clinton did well in June, but lost ground in July before losing the lead to Trump in the final days of July.
The week following the Democratic National Convention Clinton’s numbers increased to an all-time high of 89.2 percent Aug. 14, before slowly declining.
Trump regained the advantage just before the first presidential debate, earning a 54.9 percent chance of winning the election in November, with 538 stating that Trump was likely to win Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Nevada. Clinton’s chances were slim despite winning Virginia, Colorado, and Pennsylvania.
Clinton maintained her control over those three states, but picked up the very influential swing state of Florida according to the analysis. Clinton also carried Ohio, but Iowa remains a tossup.
