US election 2016: Trump victory in maps
1 hour ago US Election 2016
In a stunning election night, the Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump,
secured victory after a string of formerly Democratic states swung his way.
Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa all turned red.
Nationally, Donald Trump won 47.4% of the vote to Hillary Clinton's 47.7% ­ yet this translated
into 290 electoral college votes for the Republicans and 228 for the Democrats.

The national share of the vote dropped by more than three points for the Democrats compared
with 2012, while the Republican share of the vote did not change significantly.
At the state level, this pattern meant that the key state of Florida's 29 electoral college votes
were transferred from the Democrats to the Republicans. The state had previously voted for
President Obama twice.

The result was on a knife edge, but Donald Trump won by one percent of the vote.
Votes given to other candidates in the state, principally the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson,
would have been enough to clinch the state for Hillary Clinton.
The strong support older voters gave the Republicans helped them to win Florida.

Pennsylvania was another striking victory for Mr Trump in the battleground states. The state had
voted Democrat in the previous six presidential elections.
In addition to Pennsylvania and Florida, the president­elect also won in many other of the key
states by slim margins, as the chart below shows.

Mr Trump's electoral victory was underpinned by his success in winning over white voters, with
58% of them voting for the Republican candidate. White voters made up 70% of the electorate in
this year's election.
Mr Trump was especially popular among non­college­educated white men, receiving seven in 10
votes from that demographic group and six in 10 votes from non­college­educated white women.

The above map from the Associated Press shows how each state contributes to the electoral
college. The size of states with low populations shrink in the centre of the country while states in
the north east with larger populations grow. It helps to give a different perspective on the election
results, when compared to the traditional map below.
