Washington, Nov 22 (IANS) Hillary Clintons popular vote lead surged above 1.72 million on Sunday night, with millions of votes still to count.
Clinton's lead keeps rising on her strength in California, where her margin stands at 29 percentage points, up from President Obama's 23 percentage points 2012, The New York Times reported.
However, she has failed to close the gap in any of the swing states she lost. Trump's lead in Michigan has dwindled to 11,612 votes.
Florida certified its results on Sunday, sealing Trump's margin of victory at 1.2 percentage points. Third-party candidates in Florida easily took enough votes to swing the results.
Meanwhile, Americans seem prepared to give Trump a chance. A new poll found that 46 percent of registered voters view the president-elect favorably, the same number that sees him unfavorably.
Just before the election, 37 percent of voters viewed him favorably, while 61 percent viewed him unfavorably.
