Blue Wall Crumbling: CO, PA Now Dead Heats, Clinton Camp Abandoning Ohio?

They'll strenuously deny it, I'm sure -- and it does seem a bit far-fetched that a deeply-funded campaign would abandon 18 precious electoral votes in a state in which their candidate is within the margin of error. Then again, Trump has led in five of the last six statewide polls in Buckeyeland -- and actions speak louder than words. National Democrats are pulling up stakes in Ohio's Senate race, and now CNN notes that the state has been conspicuously absent on Hillary's travel schedule lately. "So long Ohio?" Hmmm:

“It’s been 20 days since Hillary Clinton stepped foot into this classic battleground state, and she’s not expected to visit it again in the month of September...That is a nod to the political reality they’re facing, her campaign. She is struggling mightily among white voters.”

At the very least, the Clinton camp has decided that her time ought to be concentrated elsewhere -- a seemingly significant concession from an operation that not terribly long ago was whispering to reporters about the many paths to a "commanding" victory they enjoyed. As for the "political reality" they're now grappling with among white voters, the final Washington Post/ABC News survey prior to the opening presidential debate shows a dead heat race. The 'tightening vs. expanding race' see-saw hinges back in the anti-Hillary direction with this result, which represents a three-point shift against Mrs. Clinton since the last installment of this series, and a six-point swing since early August. Keep in mind that these numbers closely reflect new national polling from Bloomberg and Quinnipiac. This race is officially a jump ball:

I agree. Everywhere.

How is he so far ahead in CO but the news networks claim it is a tied race nation wide?
