There's signs of erosion in support for Hillary Clinton, but she's maintaining her spot as "the clear front-runner" in the Electoral College with a predicted 293 votes, according to political analyst Larry Sabato.
"Hillary Clinton has picked an awful time to hit one of the rough patches that has plagued her throughout the campaign," Sabato writes in his "Crystal Ball" blog Thursday.
"Now with just days to go until Election Day, there's added uncertainty about the outcome. But while she may not be on the brink of an Electoral College win the size of Barack Obama's in 2008 or even 2012, her position as the clear front-runner in this race endures."
His predictive Clinton win of 293 Electoral College votes includes 272 "hard" "Safe or Likely" electoral votes and 21 additional electoral votes that lean toward Clinton in Nevada and North Carolina.
Donald Trump is is predicted to now have 214 electoral voters and is not seen as having a "clear path" to getting the remaining 56 electoral votes that would be necessary to clinch the presidency, according to Sabato.
Last month, Sabato predicted Clinton would get 352 electoral votes.
Recent polls have shown the race tightening in the wake of FBI Director James Comey's announcement that he will be reviewing newly uncovered emails discovered that were "pertinent" to the investigation of Clinton's private email server.
