As we approach Election Day, we are taking a look at how key battleground states in this year's presidential race have voted in the past. There are a number of states that are being considered battleground, or swing states, due to a number of reasons: perennial swing states in every election like Florida and North Carolina, states that flipped from Democratic to Republican in 2016 like Michigan and Wisconsin and states that have a history of being Republican that could flip to Democrats like Arizona and Texas. We've taken a look at the past five presidential elections in each of these battleground states and broke down county-by-county how each state voted for president in each of those races.

Prior to President Bill Clinton winning the state in 1996, only one other Democrat had been certified the winner. That was Harry Truman in 1948. But recently, Arizona has been showing signs of becoming a perennial swing state. In 2018, the state voted for Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema to claim the Senate seat recently belonging to Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. The state has another Senate seat up for grabs in this election and polling indicates Arizona could have two Democratic senators. As a result, Democrats believe former vice president Joe Biden has a shot to flip the state blue in the presidential race.

Prior to 2008, Colorado was a Republican stronghold in presidential elections dating back to 1952, with a few anomalies. The state voted for Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, and Bill Clinton in 1992. Similar to Arizona, there is also a Senate race on the ballot in Colorado, and polling indicates Sen. Cory Gardner is trailing Democratic nominee John Hickenlooper, who dropped out of the Democratic presidential campaign to focus his attention on challenging Gardner.
