In the primary, Trump won every country in PA.

He won’t take Philly and Pitts but he should win the rest of the state and the suburbs surrounding those two cities.

The fact Hillary is campaigning there tells you all you need to know.

If she had it locked up, she would be spending time in UT and AZ.

Look at where the candidates are scheduled to appear.

It’s going to be all about the turnout and enthusiasm.

Those three states are the path to the WH. Take two of them and its more than enough

No; two is not enough; check the math, especially with the Utah NeverTrump problem; Trump must win all three; The electoral odds favor any Democrat; we need Trump to break through the coruuption. We need the mercy of God Almighty. Pray without ceasing.

Yup. A poll can’t measure those things.

Especially when you have a dead heat election.

CW wisdom says Hillary will win. And much of it is based on Hillary’s boomlet out of her convention and Trump’s missteps afterwards.

But he’s recovered fast and the race is now competitive.

Its a horse race election.

If Trump had a UT problem, Hillary would be going there.

She isn’t. UT will come home to the GOP as it always does.

While we certainly have the enthusiasm, I wouldn’t count on an R +1 advantage on Election Day. The machine will get many Democrats to the polls...multiple times

Trump needs to -- and I hope that he is quietly doing so -- increase voter registration and voter turnout in flyover country.

Republican voter turnout is now usually below the level Democrat voter turnout. From the graph, it looks like it's been suppressed since 1988. It shouldn't be. Bush 41, Dole, Bush 43, McCain and Romney just didn't motivate enough Republicans to bother to vote.

That was a Republican primary. Pennsylvania has not voted for the Republican Presidential candidate since '88. Trump faces a drag from some Republican voters. If he can campaign in Philadelphia and break through to enough of those not intending to vote for him, he wins PA and the presidency.

b)African-Americans
Trump from 3.2% to 14.6%
Clinton from 90.3% to 79.7%
(a swing of ~22 points)

If Trump gets 10%+ of African-American's on election day, Hillary is toast. Obama got 99% in 2008 and 95% in 2012. If over 10% are voting for Trump it means that many, many more that came out for Obama will just sit home this election.

There’s enthusiasm for Trump that wasn’t present for Bush Pere, Dole, McCain and Romney.

Every day he is filling sold out stadiums. And people want to walk over broken glass to vote for him.

Early voting will soon begin in much of the country and I expect Trump to do much better than the polls show.

Things are looking up!

What different is Trump is connecting with blue collar workers in the Rust Belt.

They usually don’t go GOP. This year, they’ll go big for Trump.

TRUMP is like Obama

He has hardcore supporters unlike McCain & Romney

Just look at all these parody videos people are making for TRUMP just like they did for Obama

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7I92r9GqUw

McCain & Romney never had this kind of dedicated support that is why I’m still confident in a TRUMP win!

Unfortunately that is offset by those who dislike him personally but would normally vote against Hillary; it is irrational and if the election is about his personality he falls short. However, his ideas are far superior to Clinton’s. Those who dislike him, but can focus on ideas, can vote for him. He needs a higher percentage of GOP voters, than currently support him in polls, to win the election. I don’t quite trust this poll yet. Pray without ceasing.

Really? Team Trump knows they are in bad shape. You don’t shake up a management team because you think you are winning.

Trump will get 15% of the black vote with black turnout down.

FRiend, believe your own lying eyes. Do you notice how many people show up at Trumps rallies? At Hillarys? That’s an indicator that Trump is trouncing her.

What evidence do you have that I can see with my lying eyes that HIllary is trouncing Trump? And please don’t direct me to a Fox News video. Something that is independent of the LSM. Anything?
