In less than two weeks, citizens of the United States of America will be voting for their desired presidential candidate. Though no one can definitely predict the outcome of the polls, Republican candidate Donald Trump recently sent an email blast to his supporters claiming that he will garner majority of the votes for the presidency.

In the email, Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway wrote, "Donald Trump must reach 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. We've outlined a map to show where we currently stand as well as the possible paths forward to win."

According to Conway and the map they presented, their candidate is definitely leading in the race. The campaign manager stated that Trump was winning in Iowa, Ohio, Maine, Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina. If they maintain their lead, Conway noted that Trump could possibly achieve 266 electoral votes, meanwhile Clinton could have 193.

Though some are getting more cautious about how Trump and his team disperse information, the republican candidate is leading in Iowa and Ohio, according to reports. However, POLITICO's Battleground States polling average identify Clinton as the leading party in Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina.

On the other hand, polls released on Sunday suggest that Trump is closing in on Clinton's massive lead in the Electoral College. The recent revelation of FBI Director James Comey might continue to narrow the gap between the candidates. Politico reported that two new surveys have shown a massive impact on Clinton's lead in Florida. However, Clinton has also taken the lead in polls in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Citizens of the U.S. are expected to participate in the presidential election by voting on Nov. 8.
