DMR: Iowa Poll: Donald Trump takes over lead in Iowa as Joe Biden fades

45. This isn't true, either.

In the final week of the campaign, Hillary had two rallies in Michigan (Detroit on 11/4, Grand Rapids the day before the election), five rallies in Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh on 11/4, Philadelphia on 11/5, Philadelphia on 11/6, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on 11/7), two in Ohio (Cleveland on 11/1, Cleveland on 11/6), four in Florida (Dade City, Sanford, Fort Lauderdale, FL on 11/1, Pembroke Pines on 11/5) and three in North Carolina (Winterville & Raleigh on 11/3, Raleigh on 11/7 - her final rally of the campaign).

So, total, she had nine rallies in the final week of the campaign in the Midwest. In the final four days, most her rallies were held in the Midwest (9) than the South (2) - with another being held in New Hampshire on 11/6.

The fact she was in those three states so much at the end of the campaign led many to question whether their internals were showing a closer race than what many believed. When she started her Midwest blitz on 11/4, the state polls for Pennsylvania and Michigan were much more favorable to her than North Carolina and Florida, which were seen as toss-ups.

There clearly was a shift in the final week of the campaign that scared Clinton into going into Pennsylvania and Michigan. The final four days of the campaign, Hillary visited seven times to those two states. In all of October, she visited both Pennsylvania and Michigan just three times (well held three different rallies - one day she had two in Pennsylvania).

Again, they clearly saw something that most the public wasn't seeing because they DID try to shore up that firewall that they saw crumbling or they wouldn't have changed such abrupt course the final week of the campaign like they did.
