but if it is close enough for Trump to have to spend time and resources there then that is victory enough.

.... be cautious.

I have been noticing some weird results for some states on Google Surveys like Florida - Tie, North Carolina - Tie (both of which 538 corrected to +1 Trump), and Indiana - +3 Clinton (which 538 corrected to +2 Clinton).

Also Nate Silver doesn't rate Google Surveys as very accurate on the 538 website. I would take all of their results with a grain of salt.

I'm sure they realize they ain't gonna win... but they just couldn't bear the thought of losing UTAH too!

They have Hillary up 9 in Kansas and up in other unlikely places.

One state had a sample of 89 people.

Too bad somebody doesn't set the odds based on Google Surveys
