You shouldn't use data that isn't relevant.
How the Electoral College was split pre-civil rights is very different than it is now.
If you look at recent history, you'll see the odds are much different.
That's why no sane campaign focuses on the national polls but on swing states. That's why all of the money is being spent on the swing states. It's those state's opinions that matter above everyone else's.
Both parties have spent most of their 14 billion dollars in the swing states which is why your stat is BS. If the national number mattered they would spread out their money more uniformly.
If you somehow think national numbers means something, we'll just have to agree to disagree but I'd rather not waste more time on the obvious.
