The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has shifted 11 states on its election scorecard toward Democrats since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
This has been an exceedingly unpredictable year, the analyst said. Although we remain convinced that Hillary Clinton is very vulnerable and would probably lose to most other Republicans, Donald Trump's historic unpopularity with wide swaths of the electorate women, millennials, independents and Latinos make him the initial November underdog.
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.

Trump has just renounced his self-funding. So how is it that he won't be corrupted

I think the "sexual purity voters" are actually more interested in "racial purity"
