STATE POLLING
New poll today from Wisconsin (Clinton +9).
It does seem strange at this stage in the race to have a day with just one poll, but that merely means everyone is out there doing three- to five-day polling cycles since Sunday night's debate. I try not to rely on my not-so-trusty crystal ball, but I have a strong feeling we're going to get deluged with polls over the next two days.
As for the one poll we have in today, Team Clinton is continuing to have a very good week, with Wisconsin getting bluer by the day. Meanwhile, Trump is "taking off the shackles" and denouncing House Speaker Paul Ryan, who represents Wisconsin's 1st District and is still quite popular in the state. Going after the native son isn't likely to turn things around for Trump in the Badger State, especially not this late in the game.
Currently, Clinton has a projected overall lead of 340 to 198. Here are the current averages from the battleground states:
Likely Republican
Maine (CD2): Trump up by 6.9%
Nebraska (CD2): Trump up by 6%
Georgia: Trump up by 5%
Leaning Republican
Iowa: Trump up by 3.3%
Arizona: Trump up by 1.4%
Leaning Democrat
Nevada: Clinton up by 1%
Ohio: Clinton up by 1%
North Carolina: Clinton up by 1.9%

Michigan: Clinton up by 6%
Minnesota: Clinton up by 6%
New Mexico: Clinton up by 6%

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