RI is the most liberal state in the union (from early times) and my sister is very liberal. But she said a week ago that she has decided to vote for Trump. My phone nearly fell to the floor. She is voting mainly for fair trade and jobs, but also doesn’t like Hillary.
LS mentioned RI and your comment triggered a memory from a few months ago. A poll there had Clinton only +4. I haven’t seen any more recent polling, but I can’t help but wonder if RI will be a key indicator of the fabled Trump “monster vote” I’s and previous non-voters voting en mass for Trump.
If he takes that state or comes close then that would seem to indicate that PA, MI and other states would be breaking for Trump.
Thoughts?
Here in CT there are definitely some Sanders voters that plan on giving the “establishment” the middle finger and voting for Trump.
I also expect low black turnout in the cities.
There is no accurate polling (the latest IPSOS sampled only 350 people, had Hillary +6 and presumably had Democratic over-sampling) so there is no way to figure out what is really happening on the ground.
The D crooked governor will steal it at the last minute late at night if he is mobilized to do so.
However, the race is so quiet it is possible those plans are not in place.
Also, a tight race here in CT could sink two incumbent D congress-critters in the backwash.
fwiw my wife voted for Obama twice and is voting for Trump this time, so who knows.....
