New poll from AP puts Clinton +15, 48-33 amongst likely voters.

http://ap-gfkpoll.com/main/wp-conten...e_Campaign.pdf

Which looks like a huge outlier, but here's a list of all of the current non-tracker polls (copied from elsewhere, I haven't verified). Still looks like an outlier, but not by any means a crazy outlier.

AP: Clinton +15
Suffolk: Clinton +9
Democracy Corps: Clinton +12
ABC*: Clinton +9
CNN: Clinton +5
PPP: Clinton +6
Reuters*: Clinton +6
Morning Consult: Clinton+7
ARG: Clinton +7
Quinnipiac: Clinton +7
Blomberg: Clinton +9
CBS: Clinton +9
Monmouth: Clinton +12
NBC: Clinton +10
Fox: Clinton +7
Pew: Clinton +9

Latest 538 update has Trump dropping back down to 16% (he was at 17 this morning).

I think the Florida state poll is likely what is driving trumps improved chances

Yeah, that caused a big swing. Which makes sense, I mean it definitely creates some uncertainty. For both the two polls that are showing a tighter race in Florida, I think it's the first time in the field. I'd like to see some other pollsters who have been in field release more, and see if they're showing any trends.

NYT Upshot is going to have a daily tracker of North Carolina, seeing if they can use the detailed voter rolls and daily updates of who has voted, to give an accurate projection of the state:

Sure, if you'd like 3 and a half years of being totally ignored, and then six months of intense hate mail. (But yeah, it definitely strikes me as a fun profession.)

When Trump was talking about his African-American (as in only one), he wasn't kidding.

Piggybacking off that Q poll, here's where it gets real ugly for Trump. Early voting numbers from the polls:

GA: Clinton 48, Trump 42
IA: Clinton 61, Trump 27
NC: Clinton 62, Trump 34

I've seen quite a few negative polls for Trump this morning, and yet he continues to tick upwards in the 538 forecast, which is odd. He's now at 19% in polls plus, up 2 percentage points from yesterday, possibly due to Florida and Nevada being fairly tight at the moment.

It's Ohio and Arizona that have moved the needle.

I guess that's not that bad since we can pretty much rule out Arizona anyways.

I wish Ohio would wake up.

Two more polls out of Florida both have Trump up by 3. Gross.

Ohio is in an unusual spot, it's used to being the center of attention and one of the most vital states to a candidate's odds of winning. This year it's pretty much irrelevant, the Dems have more or less given up on it because they don't need it at all (Trump obviously desperately needs it). For Hillary it's all about Florida and NC, if she wins one of those Trump is pretty much finished.
