HRC GROUP / Election analyst flips 11 states toward Democrats due to Trump

Election analyst flips 11 states toward Democrats due to Trump

Donald Trump's historic unpopularity with wide swaths of the electorate — women, millennials, independents and Latinos — make him the initial November underdog.” 

SNIP
Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin were all shifted from toss-up states to leaning Democratic. The “solid Republican” states Missouri and Indiana were downgraded to “likely Republican.” New Mexico is now solidly Democratic, and North Carolina is a toss-up after leaning Republican.

The analyst also shifted Arizona and Georgia from likely Republican to leaning Republican.

Cook also moved one House race toward Democrats: Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, which was considered solid for Republicans and is now classified as a toss-up race.

Maine’s 2nd District was the only reclassification that favored the GOP, going from solid Democrat to likely Democrat. The Report classifies congressional districts in Maine and Nebraska because they are the only two states that don’t award their Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis.




The shifts is good news for Clinton and down-ballot Democrats, who are increasingly seeking to tie their GOP opponents to Trump.

Go to 44 minutes in if you want to see it. This is his whole event, I do not recommend watching too much as the surgeon general has said it could be harmful.

I'm only surprised that Trump threw the mud and not a surrogate.

Hillary's campaign will be much more clever at getting the multiple rape allegations waged against Trump into the mainstream media. More easily since Trump "went there".....

all the exit polls done and for the remaining states to see how many will support drumpf in the GE. That MIGHT give us some sense but this year is anyone's guess on some of this. Polls haven't been all that convincing in this un-conventional election season.
