Hillary has a 93% chance of winning according to the NY Times

She has 272 Electoral votes locked in, that includes Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan and Wisconsin. If you toy around with the path to victory thing at the bottom of the page you can see that Trump has to win at the very least 6 states to win, and some of those have Hillary with a more than 80% chance of winning.

Basically, in order to win he has to sweep all the close states, win FL, and then win a state that is currently at least 94% for Hillary. He has no chance.
