The pattern in 2016 polling has been an unusual one. Hillary Clinton gets a big lead; Donald Trump closes the gap. We seem to be entering the fourth such cycle, leaving the obvious question: Where will we be on Nov. 8?

New national polling from CNN-ORC shows a wide swing toward Clinton over the past month. In early September, she trailed Trump by one point in the same poll — polling that was ahead of the trend showing the race narrowing. The new poll has Clinton up by five points, a six-point swing that seems to be in large part a function of her strong debate performance.

Clinton was trailing with men by 20 points; now she trails by four. She was trailing with independents, she now leads. For the past week or two, the national race has been fairly static, with Clinton enjoying about a three-point lead. (The RealClearPolitics average hasn't yet included the new CNN numbers.)

The uptick from CNN is what we'd expect to see based on the extent to which people said she won the debate. (Gallup pegged it as the third-biggest win in modern history.) But national polls don't win elections; state results do. So let's consider those, walking through the electoral college math................................
