STATE POLLING
New polls today from Florida (Clinton +3), Ohio (Clinton +4), Wisconsin (Clinton +4), and two from Pennsylvania (Clinton +12 and Clinton +8).
These are the first polls released that overlapped the "Access Hollywood" video leak, and it's continued bad news for Donald Trump. Very bad news. And judging from the weekend's headlines and last night's "Fury in Missouri" debate, it would not be surprising at all to see things get a lot worse as the week progresses.
With the latest round of polls, the map has changed (again), moving Ohio to "leaning Democrat" and moving Pennsylvania to "solid Democrat" and off of battleground status. With the changes, Clinton now 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 2%

Michigan: Clinton up by 4.8%
Wisconsin: Clinton up by 5%

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