Clinton Leads in Key Battlegrounds; Seen As Big Debate Winner

New Public Policy Polling surveys in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, conducted on behalf of VoteVets Action Fund, find Hillary Clinton leading in each state. Voters in all five states see Clinton as having been the runaway winner of Monday night’s debate, and they question Donald Trump’s temperament and preparedness for office.

Clinton has solid leads in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia- states seen as important to her path to 270 electoral votes- and modest leads in Florida and North Carolina, where wins would be indicative of a dominant overall victory in the Electoral College. If these results hold up, Donald Trump has no path to victory:

more like "they question his mental state and emotional maturity".

His debating skills were those of a 3rd grader.

I suspect that Trump will be a wild man ready to unload his nasty from the get go. If he doesn't respond to the questions and just does his Hillary attacks, he will look like the crazy man he is.

In case he launches into the stands at some "impertinent" question from the audience.

I was trying to think of an emoji to post, but deep down, I'm not actually joking. I think he could come unhinged.

... Trump supporters are predictably rigging online voting as to who won the debate by furiously clicking "Trump' over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, then proudly linking to these rigged polls to say: "See! Everyone says Trump won!"

But of course the real polls which say otherwise are just a product of the "liberal media."

These people are like stubborn passengers on the Titanic who won't abandon ship because they refuse to believe they hit an iceberg. As the waves close over their heads they'll STILL be spluttering: "Nuh uh! Nuhhh UH! EVERYONE LOVES TRUMP! HE'S A SAINT-gurgleblubblubgurgleblub...."

but those in-state margins are still too close and most fall in the margin of error, so no time to celebrate

Good looking numbers. Enough Battle Ground states outside the DIEBOLD margin of error that could steal the election away from Hillary. Still believe Rove had the Ohio machines fixed in 2012 which is why he was so adamant that Romney won Ohio. BUT Obama outperformed!!

Trump signs outnumber Clinton about 10 to 1. That and found out in my city of 12000ish, there are only 800 registered democratic voters. UGH
