Admitting that the political situation is extremely volatile, the non-partisan Cook Political Report has shifted 11 states toward Democrat Hillary Clinton for the November election.
“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.
The analyst also shifted Arizona and Georgia from likely Republican to leaning Republican.
Cook also moved one House race toward Democrats: Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, which was considered solid for Republicans and is now classified as a toss-up race.
Maine’s 2nd District was the only reclassification that favored the GOP, going from solid Democrat to likely Democrat. The Report classifies congressional districts in Maine and Nebraska because they are the only two states that don’t award their Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis.
Take this survey as a starting point for Trump. It highlights the fact that it will be an uphill battle for the Republican to overcome his historic negatives in order to win the White House.
It can be done, but Trump has to either shore up his support among millenials, minorities, and especially women or find a way to depress the turnout for those groups. The latter might be easier considering what Trump has been saying on the campaign trail.

Let’s let the “corn fed mouth breathers” weigh in on this. Not a good year for liberals. They have lost everything. Men in women’s bathrooms? Ha. Ha. Ha.
I’ve seen several articles lately I didn’t even bother finishing, just deleted them they were so bad.
“Jesus is still King, no matter what happens.”
YUP!
It is WAY too early for this crap.
They are ignoring the Reagan Democrats who will vote Trump.
I’m in complete agreement. But I would add to those “holier than thou” Christians who decry Trump for his rather checkered romantic past and his rather exuberant freedom of speech to remember that none of us are perfect, and God sometimes uses amazingly imperfect people to create very good things, indeed.
Sometimes — oftentimes, actually — it’s the sinners, not the saints, who bring us to glory.
Trump was up 1 point in a Georgia poll today
*************************
Yep, Trump was up 1 point in a state that Romney won by 8 points.
That’s what I said....and I also said that was not good. And that this is going to be a close election.
Amen, Jenny, Amen!
One thing you never hear about is black voter enthusiasm. Blacks came out of the woodwork to support Obama. They showed up in record numbers and I’m not knocking it, but does anybody think they are going to be nearly as pumped up to vote for Hillary? Their loyalty in 2012 made all the difference.
They are now.

Thanks for the Amens! What I think it comes down to with some of these pearls-clutching “holy” types is, when the danger is all around you, who do you want in your corner — your guitar-strumming pastor, or James Bond?
We’re at that point.
For all those people who still have BO bumper stickers on their cars and who still on occasion wear a BO T-shirt: how do you think these people will vote?
Yes, I still see both things where I live.
I can't wait to see the platform the Dems adopt at their convention for Hillary! to run on.
As I recall the GA polls were dead wrong and off by 15 points !
The Dems gut crushed by this lib media push pollster had it too close to call ?
It was all lies and spin by the GA lib Media !
LOL! Progressive Propaganda Parrots...
Vote Trump!

The American Thinker hasn’t been thinking too hard lately.
