71 Days Till Election Day: New poll from Iowa

STATE POLLING

New polls today from Iowa where Clinton and Trump are in a statistical tie. This is the second consecutive tie, which shows how close the race is in the Hawkeye State.

Currently, Clinton has a 260 to 145 "safe" electoral lead over Trump with a projected overall lead of 334 to 176 with 28 too close to call.

Here are the current averages from the battleground states:

Leaning Republican

South Carolina: Trump up by 4.7%
Missouri: Trump up by 3.2%
Arizona: Trump up by 2.8%
Maine (CD2): Trump up by 1%

Virtually Tied

Georgia: Trump up by 0.6%
Iowa: Trump up by 0.2%
Nevada: Clinton up by 0.7%

Leaning Democrat

North Carolina: Clinton up by 1.6%
Florida: Clinton up by 2.3%
Ohio: Clinton up by 3.1%
New Mexico: Clinton up by 5.3%
Connecticut: Clinton up by 5.8%

Here are the State Polling Averages for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

NATIONAL POLLING

New poll today from Gravis that has Clinton up by 1, 42% to 41% over Trump, with Johnson at 4% and Stein at 1%.

The interesting note about this poll, aside from it showing the smallest gap between the two main candidates since the conventions, is that it shows both Johnson and Stein with far less support that other recent polls.

The current composite polling average in a four-candidate field has Clinton leading Trump by 5%.
