Despite making a number of close calls for Hillary in its overall projection of electoral votes, leading to a Hillary electoral lead, the Reuters/Ipsos polls this week show a close race in the key battlegrounds. To underscore how close it is, consider the following scenario. If Trump were to win Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Wisconsin, Trump wins the election. These Reuters/Ipsos polls show Trump can do just that with only a slight bump in the polls, like from last night's debate, or if the polls are just a little bit off, like with Brexit. These polls came after a Clinton win in the first debate and probably reflect a bump for her because of that. Trump leads in Iowa by two points and is tied in Colorado at 45 and North Carolina (44-43). Trump trails by small margins in Nevada (46-42), Wisconsin (46-42), Ohio (46-43) and Florida (49-44). These polls came before the Trump tape was released and before the second debate. Next week's polls will let us know more, but we really need to wait until October 20th to get a really solid read on this race in the battlegrounds in the Reuters/Ipsos polls.
