WV-PPP: Clinton trails everyone

This should throw cold water on the idea of Hillary winning West Virginia

Just confirms my belief that Arizona, Georgia would be Hillary's top pickup targets (outside of the obvious North Carolina) and she has little chance in west va Arkansas and Kentucky.

I would expect West Virginia to return closer to 2008 PVI levels but it's done going blue. Curious if Hillary would win the coal counties or improve in the midwestern section near Ohio/PA. Guessing the 2nd is more likely, even if Hillary won some of the counties around Pittsburgh I think Dems are done in the southern part of WV.

Kentucky has Louisville..WV has really no large metro areas. This poll looks good for the GOP in West Virginia, but they are in great peril in Virginia long-term and have more or less maxed out their white vote in Florida.

Coal has been declining for years, and the Democratic brand in WV was as well long before Obama arrived. Natural gas is cheaper and more efficient, that's why coal has declined, not Obama.
When you look at WV on issues like gay marriage and abortion, it is exactly the red state you would expect.
