What Are The Swing States For the 2020 Presidential Election?Swing states, battleground states, and toss ups - Regardless of what we call them, they often determine the results of the Presidential election. No candidate or political party enjoys overwhelming support in these regions, and so they get a lot of attention as the general election nears.
11 regions have been designated as the 2020 swing states in the Presidential election, with three of these states considered to be ‘key' battleground states. Securing support in these is critical for all Presidential candidates.
Swing states Florida and Ohio have determined the results of the race in recent election cycles, and they are always a crown jewel in the Electoral College process. Following is a list of the designated swing states for 2020, with the three key battleground states listed first.
You may notice that all of the swing states are also listed on the list of toss up states with the exception of Wisconsin. Wisconsin has recently been moved to ‘leaning Democrat' status, but the Democrat lead there is not significant enough to remove the state from still being considered a swing state.

Some of the state-related wagering options you'll find at our recommended sportsbooks offering political betting lines are things like what percentage of total states will be won by each party, which candidate or party will receive the popular vote in a given state, and which candidate or party will receive the electoral vote in a given state.
