Updated Election Forecast: Clinton Gains Ground in NC; Trump Makes CO a Tossup

A few polls were released on Thursday and Sunday.  The most interesting were in NC and CO.

A NC poll released on Thursday showed a tie between Trump and Clinton.  This was followed up by a poll released on Sunday that had Clinton at +2.  Previous polls had Trump +4.  This was enough to move the state from a likely R in the last forecast to a tossup.

In the last 5 elections CO has gone Republican 3 times and Democrat 2 times.  The latest poll released on Sunday had Clinton +1.  That was the first poll in nearly 3 months and it was enough to move the state from lean D to tossup.

 

In total these two moves amounted to Clinton increasing her lead from 70 to 76. (307-231)

Other polls released included:

  • 6/26 WI poll Clinton +5 confirms likely D
  • 6/26 FL poll Clinton +3 confirms lean D
