Statewide opinion polling for the 2016 United States presidential election  This article is a collection of statewide polls for the 2016 United States presidential election. The polls listed here provide early data on opinion polling between the Democratic candidate, the Republican candidate, the Libertarian candidate, and the Green candidate. Prior to the parties' conventions, presumptive candidates were included in the polls. Not all states will conduct polling for the election due to various factors. States that are considered swing states usually put out more polls as more attention is given to the results. For determining a statistical tie, the margin of error provided by the polling source is applied to the result for each candidate. Immediately before the election, Hillary Clinton had a vote lead among states recently polled. State polls with results outside the margin of error showed 213 potential electoral votes for Clinton and 162 potential electoral votes for Donald Trump. In 14 states and two congressional districts (150 electoral votes), results for Clinton and Trump were within the margin of error. For the two states and one district without recent polling, one state (6 electoral votes) voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 election, while one state and district (7 electoral votes) voted for Barack Obama. Third party candidates, such as Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, were also included in many statewide polls. They have not received support in statewide polling that surpasses the two main party nominees. Independent candidate Evan McMullin was tied with Donald Trump in the state of Utah, but he has only been included on a very limited number of statewide polls.   9 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 60%–39%(Republican in 2012) 61%–38%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 62%-34%  3 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 59%–38%(Republican in 2012) 55%–41%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 51%-37%  Two-way race  Four-way race  11 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 53%–45%(Republican in 2012) 53%–44%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 48%-45%    6 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 59%–39%(Republican in 2012) 61%–37%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 61%-34%    55 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 61%–37%(Democratic in 2012) 60%–37%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 62%-32%   9 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 54%–45%(Democratic in 2012) 51%–46%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 48%-43%    7 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 61%–38%(Democratic in 2012) 58%–41%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 55%-41%   3 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 62%–37%(Democratic in 2012) 59%–40%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 53%-42%  3 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 92%–7%(Democratic in 2012) 91%–7%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 91%-4%  "No polling was conducted post August 1, 2016"  29 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 51%–48%(Democratic in 2012) 50%–49%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 49%-48%  16 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 52%–47%(Republican in 2012) 53%–45%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 51%-46%    4 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 72%–27%(Democratic in 2012) 71%–28%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 62%-30%  "No polls conducted yet"  4 electoral votes (Republican in 2008) 61%–36%(Republican in 2012) 64%–32%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 59%-28%  20 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 62%–37%(Democratic in 2012) 58%–41%  Winner (Democratic in 2016) 56%-39%   11 electoral votes(Democratic in 2008) 50%–49% (Republican in 2012) 54%–44%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 57%-38%    6 electoral votes (Democratic in 2008) 54%–44%(Democratic in 2012) 52%–46%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 51%-42%   6 electoral votes(Republican in 2008) 56%–42% (Republican in 2012) 60%–38%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 57%-36%   8 electoral votes(Republican in 2008) 57%–41% (Republican in 2012) 60%–38%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 63%-33%  8 electoral votes(Republican in 2008) 59%–40% (Republican in 2012) 58%–41%  Winner (Republican in 2016) 58%-38%  Three-way race   4 electoral votes (Statewide vote worth 2 EVs;
