Clinton has more swing state support. There are many theories about what determines a swing states. However, everybody agrees swing states have about equal Democrat and Republican voters. So, based on this common agreement I determine that any state that had less than a 3% margin between the Democrat and Republican vote in the past election is a swing state. I have compiled a list of the current swing states and have arranged them in order of electoral vote count:
Pennsylvania: 21, Clinton
Ohio: 20, Clinton
Wisconsin: 10, Obama
Iowa: 7, Obama
Nevada: 5, Clinton
New Mexico: 5, Clinton
New Hampshire: 4, Clinton
A quick look at the list shows that Clinton has more swing state support. Obama has 17 votes and Clinton has 55 votes. The general election will be won by the candidate with the most swing state support. Since Clinton has over three times more swing state support than Obama, she has a stronger chance of winning the general election. Thus, in order for the Democrats to increase our chances of winning the general election it is best to vote for Clinton to be the Democrat nominee for president.
