Political statistics blog FiveThirtyEight has released its forecast for the 2016 election, and it's not looking good for Donald Trump. According to the forecast, Trump only has a 19.3 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Trump is currently predicted to win only 22 states and would receive 183 electoral votes.
