This should be quick, but good news doesn’t need to take long. Everybody has been wondering what effects Trump’s deranged performance in Mondays debate would have on the polls. Well, now we have an early glimpse at the damage, and it ain’t pretty!
As we speak, NBC news projection map has HIllary at 272 EV’s and Trump at 198. Trump has to flip Blue states to get there. He has been focused on Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire to do it. Not so fast. New polling in two of those states show Hillary gaining ground on him in both. The Huffington Post has a rundown on the polls. In Michigan Hillary has expanded her lead to 7 points in both Michigan and New Hampshire. Great trend, let’s hope it continues!
But it gets even worse for The Orange Julius. If he wants to even have a shot he absolutely MUST win the “swing” states of Nevada and Florida. And post debate, that is notso-hotso for him either. In Nevada he is now trailing Clinton by 6 points. This is a 4 point improvement for Clinton since the same poll in mid August. Florida is even worse, aggregate polling has showed the the race as a dead heat toss up. Not this poll, Clinton is now up by 4 points in the new poll. The important thing to note is that the results of both of these polls are outside of each polls MOE.
This is good news, but there’s no letting up on the gas now! If Trump actually shows up for the last two debates, and is as unhinged as he was for the first one, these margins are only going to grow.
