2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHOLY SHIT! Even Alabama thinks Hillary won the debate.
Don't have a link or numbers. It was just on local TV news.
Not an online poll. Telephone poll.
3000 polled.
Something like 58%-42%.
On voting, Trump still wins, but this is big.
Local repug strategist and pollster says this is very bad in a red, red state like Alabama.

(5,648 posts)Nate Silver gives Trump a 99.5% chance of winning Alabama with combined poll results of: Trump 56.4% - Clinton 35%. Earlier polls had Trump winning by 39% and 37%; the most recent polls have him winning by 19% and 15%.
Only one other state shows more support for Trump with a 99.6% chance of winning and a poll lead of 54.4 to 34.2%.
Can you guess which state that is? (No fair looking.)

Did not cheat. Maybe Idaho? Or Texas.

I didn't look recently, but those were among the "worst" along with Alabama when I checked about a month ago.

(5,648 posts)But the race is actually getting closer in both states, not that Hillary has a snowball's chance in Hades in either state.

I live in Alabama. After the debate I went on a local forum to read what was being said. The place I visited is universally loaded with Hillary haters who literally never utter a kind word about her. But it's a good place to gauge what the enemy is saying. Even among that crowd it was almost unanimous that she kicked Trumps ass.
