538 moves Florida back into Clinton's hands, NV almost there too

A 4.3% positive swing nationally from yesterday in probability of her winning the election. She now stands pointed at 62.2% and the trend looks really favorable!!! Link to data FiveThirtyEight.com
Donald's trend looks like a boat anchor headed for the bottom of the ocean.

270ToWin's average of 12 national polls shows Hillary Clinton win a 4 pt advantage of 47% to 43% for Donald. It appears there's positive movement in every state, but more importantly in the battleground states, she's made huge gains.

HRC
CO +4
FL +3
NC +3
NV -1
IA -1
OH -2

This is exciting news for the Clinton - Kaine ticket! Get pumped people, we're in the home stretch.

The deadline to REGISTER or RE-REGISTER voters is fast approaching!!! Get democrats registered NOW!

We still have 5+ weeks to go and crazy things can happen. We've got to stay diligent, focused, and work as if Hillary is behind in the polls (I know she's not, but we cannot afford to get complacent).

I agree that 62.2% is GREAT news, but I want to see that number go higher, Higher, HIGHER!!!

That would give us a 50-50 Senate with Kaine the tiebreaker

It's in the upper left corner.

There are three options there.

One of them has a darkened circle beside it.

This is a common user interface technique to quickly inform the reader what has been selected.

You may see similar indications on other web sites too.

Then you read off the name of the model and you type it into your post.

Alternatively you can highlight the text and use Copy-Paste or ctrl-C ctrl-P to put it into your post.

Your readers will appreciate the care you took to be informative.

Really great news I read a listing saying there are two more debates and like President O did in 12 trump could do well in those and still win Difference is Trump doesn't have temperament to be Pres as stated by large majorities in PPP polls and trump is not president O I hope it's not a similar comparison at the end of the day We gotta GOTV and not take anything for granted

The formula worked for Obama's campaigns. If Dems vote, we win. We outnumber them. All we have to do is motivate them to do two things:

1) Register or reregister
2) Early Vote or vote on election day.

And this reflects none of the Cuba Embargo story and not all of the debate fall out so there is room for more movement in Clinton's direction. Worst week for Trump since the week after the DNC.

...simply because he had won against a bunch of weak R opponents.

Now that the debate is over and HRC has sunk that narrative to the bottom of the ocean, her polling numbers are skyrocketing.

She may be on an unstoppable path to a very dominating win if we can turn democrats out this election, getting them registered or re-registered and to the polls to EV or vote on election day.

And a lot of men don't like it either. Also millennials.
