The Majority of Battleground States Went for Trump

Donald J. Trump secured his victory by winning seven out of 13 battleground states that President Obama won at least once (Mr. Trump was also leading in Michigan as of Wednesday). The largest of those electoral prizes was Florida, which favored him by just 1.3 percentage points. Mr. Trump also flipped Pennsylvania, which had not voted for a Republican since 1988, and Wisconsin, which had not voted for one since 1984.
