The current presidential campaign has brought a lot of chaos and each day closer to election day brings new and interesting revelations about the candidates.

More than half of Americans believe the election process is broken, but we press on. In this election, almost half of all voters (46.5 %) say they are voting for their selected candidate solely to stop the other candidate from winning

Sometimes it helps to get a little perspective in the form of hard data like the following:

  • Clinton's odds of winning (as of Oct. 13) were -275 compared to Trump's odds of +190.
  • Trump scores 60% on the false-o-meter for the number of lies told during the campaign compared to Clinton's 13%
  • According to historical data, the economy would prove much healthier under a Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency

If you think these findings are enticing, take a look below at more stats from WalletHub's Election Day 2016 By the Numbers infographic:
