Hillary Clinton’s prospects for a landslide victory have slid. Democrats’ attempts to take back the House remain a steeply uphill battle. And Americans are still worried about the threat of terrorism.This is HuffPollster for Friday, September 9, 2016.
FLORIDA, OHIO, NORTH CAROLINA REMAIN CLOSE CONTESTS - National polls have shown Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump eroding slightly in the first week of September, and now it looks like a trio of crucial swing states might be following suit.
Florida - A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday found Clinton and Trump tied at 47-47 in a two-way race, and 43-43 in a four-way contest, with Libertarian Gary Johnson getting 8 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein taking 2 percent. Most of the August polls in the state showed Clinton leading, at times by substantial margins, but Quinnipiac is the second since the beginning of September to indicate that lead might be narrowing. The HuffPost Pollster average has Clinton up by 3.5 points, but expect that to close in if more polls show a tighter race....

I love how they say a tie means the race is “possibly” closer.
They're emotionally fragile readers must be coddled at all times.
The chance of suicide is always present.
Oops, meant “their,” not “they’re.”
there might be some serious Huff pant wetting around mid October ......
That explains her royal piggy beeline to FNC! Drown you miserable hag drown!
You’ll know things are really going Trump’s way when the Huff Po offers its fragile readers a “safe space,” where they will only see pictures of fluffy kitties and friendly pups.
It's HuffTards way of signaling that they need to circle the wagons and stay on talking points.
LOL at the first sentence. There were NEVER any prospects of the deranged cow winning in a land slide.
He’s ahead.
I think if he takes Florida he’s a lock
Trump is resonating with the rustbelt. If the election were held today, Wisconsin and North Carolina could be the key states.
Romney states (including NC) + FL + OH + IA plus 10 (could be WI) = 269 and victory in the House.
We’re close in CO, PA, MI and NH, and ahead in NV and ME-1. IN (Pence) looks solid for us, while VA (Kaine) looks solid for them.
But, if Trump continues to move the dial, not only does VA become possible, so does MN, NJ, DE, ME, RI, OR and NM.
A WHOLE NEW MAP!
PLUS we’re looking good in he House (generic congressional ballot) and in the key Senate races. We may even add to our Governors and state legislatures.
THINK BIG!!!
Comey? The FBI turd?
Oh yeah....I believe everything he says.
That’s why I wish Trump were working harder on winning WI. He’s only been there twice since the end of the primaries. NV + NH would make up for WI’s 10 electoral votes in your scenario, but he’s only made one single general election stop in NV, while NH looks at least as questionable as WI as far as Trump winning it goes. Of course, if he wins PA and its many electoral votes, then the situation changes drastically, but he needs to keep as many pathways to the presidency open as possible. Trump has been working very hard on winning Virginia (he’s made 7 stops there since the primaries—the same as PA), so his people must see it as doable still.
The candidates have better than we do. Mike Pence is making at least his second stop in Virginia tomorrow. Carly Fiorina is putting in a stop with my lady Congressman in my little town next week. It’s getting real.
Sadly the Electoral College favors libs.
Polls by liberal rags are like the capability data provided in Jane’s Fighting Ships.
It’s speculative and almost certainly much better than they are revealing.
VA is lost .. Too many DC grubbers ...
Marco Rubio has a solid 5% lead. Hard to imagine anyone voting for Rubio and not Trump too.
