Even better, Wikepidea says that the D/R number is D+12. This is D+17, which would make it D+1!

He wins ILL, he runs the table.

” ... an ever-growing federal government workforce”

The federal workforce peaked under George H.W. Bush. It’s been remarkably stable the past 15 years. State and local government workers have grown dramatically, however.

Many left-leaning federal workers have moved to Virginia from Maryland, fleeing high taxes and stifling regulations. That, and the growth of state and local gov’t workers, may help explain Virginia’s shift to the Dems.

[Ann Archy]

uh...yes.

Illinois is closer than Virginia, according to Roanoke.

The Roanoke sampling, when measuring only likely voters, was only +7 for Hillary, down from +19 in August. Further, with leaners, the sampling was 49D, 39R, 12I. There is no way Virginia is that far tilted to the dems... yet. It's closer to D+2.

[ScottinVA]

uh...yes.

Well.. the Trump +5 Ras poll out this a.m. should wipe those smirks away.

[edie1960]

I think all the birther nonsense from late last week hurt Trump and I pray he bounces back.
Also, crossing my fingers that Don King almost uttering the N word yesterday doesn’t cause trouble.

[NYC-RepublicanCT]

CNBC and John Harwood (hate this dirtbag)touting the brand new NBC poll. No mention of Ras. Disgraceful.

[IC Ken]

reI’ve said 57 states.

Trump will never win Isis, Iraq or Iran or Libya. After all Obama gave them 2 plane loads of cash and Hillary helped them get weapons.

[ScottinVA]

Corrected version:

The Roanoke sampling, when measuring only likely voters, in the four-way, was only +7 for Hillary, down from +19 in August.

Consider the source.

In the midst of a ground swell movement, never before seen in our Republic, I think polls are more like propaganda to stop the progress.

>>The federal workforce peaked under George H.W. Bush.

It depends how you define the “federal workforce”.

Many essential services are provided by contractors who work at private firms such as Booz Allen Hamilton, EDS, and Accenture. They depend on the continuance of the managerial state gravy train.

Thanks for the great information.
Like to think Virginia is still in play, despite all the efforts by Clinton crony Governor McAuliffe to restore voting rights to ex-cons/felons.

[ScottinVA]

Yep...

It’s narrative-building time. “Look! Our beloved Hillary! has survived a bad month and is back on her glide path to victory!”

National polls mean nothing. The election will be decided by a handful of states. Polling of likely voters there are all the matter. And that matters little before the debates.

Fox had some battleground state polling this morning. Showed Trump up by 5% in Ohio and Florida and up by 3% in Nevada.

[Voluntaryist]

The NBC poll was actually worse than that imo.

Thanks.. yes, it's still in play, even as an uphill battle for Trump. Not that it's an overly dependable indicator, but even in black-majority Portsmouth (close to where I work), there's not a single Hillary yard sign to be found. There are Trump/Pence signs out, though!
