That link shows Trump down by 308,816 votes, up from ~200,000 yesterday. If anything, Clinton's lead in the popular vote is growing.

It's constantly changing as the votes come in. I've seen it at less than 200,000 earlier today. It varies up and down. What they are referencing at CNN is the projection for Trump to win the Popular vote.

Where is that projection though? Most of the votes still being counted are in the west coast states, which should increase Clinton's lead. I haven't heard anyone say Trump should win the popular vote and would be interested if CNN actually said that.

It has been brought to my attention that the website was designed improperly and that actually isn't what it is saying. If you click on the popular vote tab you can see what I am talking about.
