The Reuters polling of the nation as of Thursday shows high confidence in a win by Republican candidate Donald Trump in Vermont.
Reuters did not give a margin for Trumps victory but instead said it has high confidence in a GOP win. According to their polling standards, a state is reported as high confidence for a candidate if they win 95 percent or more of the simulated elections.

There might be a backlash against Hillary due to her stealing the nomination from Sanders.
You don’t think the Sander’s voters might be angry at Hillary for stealing the nomination?
New Englanders might not be amused by the direct attack on their fishing industry!
Sad. I was in Fredericksburg 3 months ago. I’m guessing it was 90% Trump and 8% “other”. They really hate Hillary there.
Yep. It’s wonderful. F her; she’s finally finished, along with that trailer trash “husband” of hers.
Maine now predicting Trump to get 3 of the 4 EVs
Mitt Romney won about 31% in Vermont
It only has 3 Electoral votes
Yes, but it shows Hillary’s weakness in the northeast.
Trump momentum is really building.
“they are pissed about what happened with Bernie.”
I wondered how much not an impact that would have. Agreed that it will be more of a case of Dems not going to the polls if Trump carries the state.
Vermont was the worst state in 2004 and 2nd only to Obama’s homestate of Hawaii in the last 2 elections. Clinton was up 21 points in the most recent poll so I don’t know what the hell is up with this supposed poll with no margin.
It’s possible, perhaps even likely that Trump does better than the last 3 elections in such a rural White state. Perhaps it could even move out of the worst 5 (it was the 8th worst state by Bush% in 2000, a good year for VT Republicans who won the State House in reaction to the homo civil unions thing). But the chances of Trump winning I’d say are zero, Stein would need to be doing very very well.
If Vermont is within single digits on election night I’d advise the entire DNC to do the honorable thing and commit seppuku.
“The deepest blue and least conservative according to Gallup”
Second whitest. That may be the most important number to follow.
Famous Dave’s BBQ sauce... If you ever had their ribs... The sauces are good too.
“But the chances of Trump winning Id say are zero,”
You...underestimate...The Donald?
Up 21% for Hillary is still bad (for her). If Trump is claimed to be as “toxic” as said (worse than McQueeg and Willard), she should easily be ahead by 35-36% or more. If Trump loses by just 20% in VT, that will be identical to Dubya’s 2004 win nationally.
I saw a huge Trump billboard on the side of a building in Lawrence back in July.
Wouldn’t it be absolutely delicious if the first thing you heard on election night was Trump taking Vermont, the home of town meetings, country inns, and knit shops? If only....
Not a mistake at all, Been obvious from day one Trump was going to take states no one remotely thought could be in play.
For this to be true, they’d have to prevent the entire city of Burlington from voting.
I highly doubt this is true. If Trump wins Vermont, we're looking at one of the most epic Republican landslides in history!
