These three states are making a Trump win basically impossible

These three states are making a Trump win basically impossible
By Aaron Blake August 12 at 1:29 PM

Donald Trump's week of bad polls just got much worse.

Four new NBC News/Marist College polls released Friday show Hillary Clinton leading Trump by five points in Florida, nine points in North Carolina, and double digits in Colorado (14) and Virginia (13) . All four states have been battlegrounds in recent presidential elections.

And really, it's those last two numbers that show just how massively difficult Trump's path to the presidency is right now. Because without Colorado and Virginia -- and a third state where he trails by double digits, Pennsylvania -- he's all but sunk.

Clinton does not have a single "must win" state that could not be covered for in some other scenario.

Trump has numerous states that he "must win" in order to carry the election, and that means almost all of them. Little to no margin for errors. Since errors are about all he has done, it looks good.
