STATE POLLING
New polls today from Pennsylvania (Clinton +2) and Georgia (Trump +4).
Another bit of bad news for the Clinton campaign, which has been leading well in Pennsylvania since the conventions. She still has a 5.1% cumulative lead, but seeing a +2 come out the day before the first debate is a bit of concern for the Democrats.
No changes to the map today. Currently, Clinton has a 195 to 126 "safe" electoral lead over Trump with a projected overall lead of 301 to 237.
Here are the current averages from the battleground states:
