CNN released a snapshot of the U.S. Electoral College that shows two more states and part of a third state are now leaning Republican.
Ohio and Utah are now labeled "lean Republican" instead of "battleground," while Maine's 2nd Congressional District lean Republican.
New Hampshire has moved away from leaning Democrat to "battleground" status.
A presidential candidate must win 270 electoral votes out of 538 to win the White House. According to the map, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has 268 electoral votes, while GOP nominee Donald Trump has 204.
CNN notes the map is more favorable towards Trump, although Clinton holds an advantage.
Six contests — Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and the second congressional district in and around Omaha, Nebraska — are labeled "battleground," which means the likelihood of whoever wins is a toss-up. Those states are worth a total of 66 electoral votes.
"Solid Republican" means the Republican candidate is expected to carry that state and 20 states have that designation, while four states and the Maine district are leaning toward the GOP.
Sixteen states are solidly Democratic on the map, with five more leaning in that direction.
CNN notes electoral map reflects current polls, reporting from the campaigns and groups that track each state, advertising decisions made by the campaigns and their supporting groups, and the travel schedules of candidates and their surrogates.
If no candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, the race is sent to the House of Representatives to decide.
"This is not a prediction of where the map will end up on Tuesday night when the votes are counted, it is simply a snapshot heading into the homestretch," said David Callan, the network's political director.
Vox looked at Clinton's support in relation to the Electoral College and found that her supporters are "distributed inefficiently." If Clinton is tied or nearly tied with Trump in the popular vote, he could reach 270 electoral votes.
