Where are all the electoral maps?

Maybe, but that has never stopped them in past years. And when you do the map yourself based on polling data, it becomes very clear that Trump has the much easier path to 270 (assuming polls are correct that he will likely get GA, NC, AZ, and NV). Then he only needs to pick up ONE of MI, WI, or PA.

Also remember how in past years it was all about Florida and Ohio. Those are in the bag for Trump this year and they aren’t even campaigning there. I don’t think CNN wants to show that reality, which isn’t pretty for Kamala.

Another way to think about this is that Harris only has to win three states of the 7 battlegrounds whereas Trump has to win 5. And the reason Harris only has to win 3 is that the states where she is strongest are more populous and thus have more electoral votes.

But really neither of them has the "easier path." Basically whoever wins PA wins the election. Much like in previous years when it all came down to Florida. And the reality is that while FL and OH have swung to the right, Virginia and Colorado have swung to the left. So there's been no rightward shift in the US. It's just that people keep moving around and attitudes are shifting a bit.

Based on current polls, it seems very clear Trump will take GA, NC, AZ, and NV. That picture has emerged quite clearly in the two months since CNN apparently stopped using the wall and electoral predictions. That means there are really only three states in play (PA, WI, and MI), and of those, Kamala needs all three to win and Trump only needs one.

Instead of the endless panels on CNN with their partisan politics, I would prefer to see objective John King and his Wall. But it seems CNN has told him to stand down.

What current polls? The 538 average has Nevada even and Trump up 1 in NC and GA. So within the margin of error in all three states. There is no "clear pictures" that Trump is winning any of those. I do think he'll win AZ.

And in any case, if Harris wins both WI and MI (where she is up 1 in the 538 average) then Trump not only has to carry all three of NC-GA-NV but he also has to win PA.

So either way they both have to win PA. There is no conspiracy here. CNN and other news outlets understand that there is zero value in showing the same map with the same swing states where polls are effectively tied over and over again. Especially when ultimately it's going to to come down to PA alone where the race is a dead heat and because of the mail-in vote and lack of early voting there aren't even much in the way of early numbers to discuss as there are in other states with substantial early vote.

If you want to look at a map go look at a map of PA. It would be more useful.

Other polls are showing Trump much further ahead in NC and GA than you seem to think. NV is closer.

And why has CNN made that decision? Nothing has stopped them from endless electoral map game theory in past election cycles!

That's why reporting outlier polls is pointless and most outlets use polling averages. You can also find polls that show Harris way out ahead in MI and WI and leading in PA, and if we just trusted those polls then we should just call the whole thing now, right?

Sorry but your conspiracy theories based on a few right-leaning pollsters turning up a +5 for Trump in NC are just that -- theories. The reason networks aren't putting up maps showing Trump winning is that the polls do not show Trump winning and actually the race is tied including in key battleground states.

What are you going to do if the results from these races come back and Trump doesn't sweep NV-AZ-NC-GA? Because there's every likelihood that Harris could win one or two of those. Just like Trump could pull out wins in WI and MI. And either candidate could win PA.

You just want the news to tell you that the outcome you are hoping for is going to happen and you consider anyone who doesn't "biased" or "hiding something."

^^And I don’t expect them to validate my views, but to show the various “what if” scenarios on the electoral map as they always do. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy, but just noticeable that they’re not doing it this year.

Not really.

A candidate going to a swing state 4 times in one day (NC) to shore up does not show confidence in carrying the state.
The early voting in GA and AZ are VERY bullish for Harris.
NV is a total wildcard, and the early voting there favors Trump.

What polls are you seeing that support your assertion? Because the facts on the ground are not close to what you are saying.

Again, CNN had Trump up by more than a point in NC, GA, and AZ, and Harris up by less than a point in WI, MI, and PA. I guess anything could happen in any state, which is why they are both going to all six (plus NV) all the time. It seems her path is harder, but there are many scenarios, which is why I like the map!

At this point, you have to look at the early voting numbers, not the polling.

The polling is showing Harris ahead in PA, MI, WI and GA.
Trump ahead in NV
and things too indeterminative in NC and AZ.

This on early voting.

In past years, John King at CNN and others were constantly in front of the map changing states and trying to predict how the map would end up on election night. It was literally daily.

I have tried to find recent ones on YouTube and can’t find anything from CNN in the past two months. Very strange.

Seems to me Trump has a much clearer path to 270, and perhaps CNN doesn’t want to highlight that?

Where’s John King and the Magic Wall??!!

John King has been out on the road visiting all the swing states, also he no longer has his 12pm show on CNN. That's why you are seeing less of the magic wall. But he was on Anderson Cooper last night going over the electoral map.

Just watched CNN and Harry Enten had the “magic wall” up.

Where can I watch a live map / EV counter that pre fills the safe states and then updates the swing states when official results come in?
