STATE POLLING
New polls today from Virginia (Clinton +7), Illinois (Clinton +6), Louisiana (Trump +16), Nevada (Trump +3), Ohio (Trump +5), New Hampshire (Clinton +9), two from Wisconsin (Clinton +7 and Clinton +3), and two from North Carolina (Trump +5 and Trump +2)
Another big batch of polls, another day of mixed news for the campaigns. It's like déjà vu all over again, to quote the late, great Yogi Berra.
And yet, with all the polling and the differences in numbers and so forth, the only real change to the map today is North Carolina flipping from leaning Democrat to leaning Republican.
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:
