STATE POLLING
New polls today from Arizona (Trump +4), North Carolina (Trump +2), New York (Clinton +18),and two from Wisconsin (Clinton +5 and +3).
After riding high for nearly a month after the convention, Team Clinton is starting to come back towards the ground with another batch of polls showing her "safe" electoral lead continuing to slip (Wisconsin joining the "lean" list today, for example), and several of the battleground races tightening up.
That said, she still has a very strong projected lead, but with still over two months to go and three debates, there is still an awful lot of politicking to do between now and Election Day.
Currently, Clinton has a 210 to 145 "safe" electoral lead over Trump with a projected overall lead of 334 to 182 with 22 too close to call.
Here are the current averages from the battleground states:
Leaning Republican
South Carolina: Trump up by 5.4%
Arizona: Trump up by 2.5%
Maine (CD2): Trump up by 1.8%
Georgia: Trump up by 1.2%
Virtually Tied
Missouri: Trump up by 0.9%
Iowa: Clinton up by 0.6%
Nevada: Clinton up by 0.9%
