This R&D provides resources on the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Real estate mogul Donald Trump shocked the world on Wednesday morning, capturing Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and winning the White House over Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton. Polls showed that Clinton had the edge going into election day, but Trump’s message resonated in the Rust Belt and Clinton was unable to replicate President Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 voting coalitions. However, Democrats appear to have won the popular vote for the fourth time in the last five presidential elections (although they have only won two of them due to the Electoral College).
