CNN has moved Nevada and Florida back to their traditional toss-up status, one week after moving both states from the battleground category into leaning Democratic.

In addition, the network's electoral outlook map has moved six states and two congressional districts back into the battleground category, which could affect 87 electoral votes.

CNN ranks the states, and their electoral votes available, as follows:

  • Solid Republican: Alabama (9), Alaska (3), Arkansas (6), Idaho (4), Indiana (11), Kansas (6), Kentucky (8), Louisiana (8), Mississippi (6), Missouri (10), Montana (3), Nebraska (4), North Dakota (3), Oklahoma (7), South Carolina (9), South Dakota (3), Tennessee (11), Texas (38), West Virginia (5), Wyoming (3) (157 total)
  • Leans Republican: Georgia (16), Iowa (6), (22 total)
  • Battleground states: Arizona (11), Florida (29), Nevada (6), Ohio (18), Maine 2nd Congressional District (1) Nebraska 2nd Congressional District (1), North Carolina (15), Utah (6) (87 total)
  • Leans Democratic: Colorado (9), Michigan (16),New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (20), Virginia (13), Wisconsin (10), (72 total)
  • Solid Democratic: California (55), Connecticut (7), Delaware (3), DC (3), Hawaii (4), Illinois (20), Maine (3), Maryland (10), Massachusetts (11), New Jersey (14), New York (29), Oregon (7), Rhode Island (4), Vermont (3), Washington (12), Minnesota (10), New Mexico (5) (200 total)

Both GOP nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have been pushing hard for Florida, with Clinton planning stops in Florida this weekend after wrapping up her two-day swing through the state this week.

Meanwhile, a Bloomberg Politics poll this week put Trump 2 points over Clinton in the Sunshine State, but the poll, like others in Nevada, put the nominees in virtual ties considering margins of error in play.

The changes in CNN's electoral outlook show Clinton controlling 272 electoral votes to Trump's 179, leaving 87 electoral votes open in the battleground states. A candidate must control at least 270 votes to take the presidential race.
