Unprecedented Polling Effort Across 97 Races Shows Democrats Also Poised to Take Senate

Palo Alto, California, November 7, 2016 -- Today, SurveyMonkey, the world’s leading online survey platform, released final polling estimates for the 2016 presidential, U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections. Just ahead of tomorrow’s election, SurveyMonkey and NBC News showed Hillary Clinton with a clear and consistent national lead, beating Donald Trump 47 to 41 percent, with 6 percent for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 3 percent for Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

“Our polls have shown Clinton’s lead in the national popular vote to be remarkably stable despite the many apparent twists and turns in the campaign,” said Jon Cohen, SurveyMonkey’s Chief Research Officer. “All fall, Clinton has maintained a lead over Trump, with her margin hovering in a narrow band between 4 and 6 percentage points.”

Presidential Race: Clinton Likely to Win

In its exclusive polls across all 50 states (and Washington, D.C.), SurveyMonkey has Clinton with significant leads in 21 states (including Washington, D.C.) for a total of 257 Electoral College votes. She has numerical advantages in another six states. Should Clinton prevail in all of them, she will win the presidency with 334 Electoral College votes, putting the final tally between President Obama’s victories in 2008 (365 Electoral College votes) and 2012 (332).

Trump has clear advantages in 23 states, which total 188 Electoral College votes. One state, Georgia, is a tie in our final pre-election estimate.

Across a range of possible scenarios given by SurveyMonkey’s 50-state results, the average outcome is 321 Electoral votes for Clinton to 217 for Trump. The chances of a Clinton win are 96 percent.

“The size and scale of our Election Tracking effort, across 97 races, have never been attempted before,” said Zander Lurie, CEO of SurveyMonkey. “Our team has surveyed more than one million American voters since we started the weekly tracking poll in December 2015. In the coming days, our data will be visualized in an interactive Electoral Map providing a definitive, detailed look at who voted and why in this historic contest.”
