Nothing against polls, but give me real voter/registration data in battleground states any day of the week. The Florida hispanic voter info alone makes this seem over- Trump can't win without Florida:
Internally, the Clinton team is closely watching and cheering early voting and registration figures in strategically imperative battlegrounds.
In Nevada, theyre pointing to huge Democratic turnout, including in Las Vegas Clark County, over the first two days of early voting, compared to anemic performance among Republicans. In Arizona, a 20,000 vote deficit for Democrats at this point in 2012 has turned into a 1,000 vote lead now. In Colorado, the number of registered Democrats recently overtook the number of registered Republicans for the first time ever. And in Florida, Republicans entered the week only ahead of Democrats by 1.7 percent, compared to a 5.3 percent lead at this point four years ago. That's largely on the back of a 99 percent increase in Latino voting compared to this time in 2012.
