NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton's campaign wants its surrogates to let the world know: HQ is feeling bullish about their chances in Nevada, while signaling they think Ohio could be a surprise victory for Democrats.

In a memo sent to surrogates and finance council members — and shared with POLITICO — the Democrats’ campaign instructs chatterers to let people know: "Election day has arrived and the Clinton campaign is in a very strong position.”


While polls show that contests in key states like Florida were very tight ahead of Election Day, the Clinton camp suggested that a strong ground game — and turnout among minority voters — would shift things in their favor.

As for the state-by-state breakdown, the campaign is calling its early voting lead in Nevada “a nearly insurmountable climb” for Donald Trump.

In Ohio, where many forecasters have predicted a win for Trump, the campaign highlighted early voting in Democratic districts that could tip the contest in Clinton's favor.

"Early voting in strong Democratic counties continued to pick up the closer we got to Election Day," the memo said. "Saturday was Cuyahoga’s biggest day of in person early vote this cycle and Franklin County broke the single best day of turnout — ever. As of Sunday morning, Athens and Hamilton counties had already surpassed their 2012 turnout.”

In Florida, where polls have been neck-and-neck in the run-up to Election Day, the campaign highlighted strong early voting from young voters and minorities. "We also saw a surge in voting among key demographics — more millennials, African-Americans and Hispanics have voted early compared to 2012," the memo said.

And, in a campaign season rife with negativity, the memo finishes on what the campaign hopes is an uplifting note: "The majority of Hillary's supporters are voting for her — not just against Trump. Donald Trump is experiencing the opposite — in fact, since 1980 no presidential candidate has had less affirmative support of its candidate — the Washington Post/ABC News poll — only 41 percent of Trump supporters say they are for him."
