Which are the swing states?
Question: Which are the swing states?
Swing states are defined as states with no predictable winner in a
Presidential election. The swing states are very important in a
Presidential election because they are up for grab by all candidates.
Swing states get a lot of attention, advertising, and focus during
the election. Therefore, the swing states are also called the
battleground states.
The states most likely to be won by a democratic candidate are usually
called blue states, while the states that are most likely to be won
by a republican candidate are usually called red states. Since a swing state
can be won by either candidate, it is often referred to as a purple state
(blue and red mix).
The swing states change over time, but states that have gotten
a lot of attention in recent years are: Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, Nevada, Colorado and New York.
