Trump leads 45-43 among independents?  What's all that about?

This is the map that goes with this poll (a Clinton 12-point lead with these demographics):

LMAO at Mississippi and South Carolina going to Clinton. Logically that would require a change in elasticity and a Democratic trend from 2012, just no.

Mississippi trended 5% Democrat in 2012.  Straight-up margin has also gone from 19% to 13% to 11.5%.  So, we can argue both a Democrat trend, and elasticity.  Mississippi is also < 60% white, and we're talking about Trump here.  So, all it would take is another 3.36% Democrat trend to flip the state if Clinton's margin is 12%.

South Carolina had a much smaller Democrat trend in 2012.  However, a 2.33% Democratic trend would be all that is needed to flip the state, and that's not at all unreasonable given its demographics.  The state has ranged in margin from 6% to 17%, hardly inelastic.

But my main point in drawing this map is that this poll is kind of ridiculous.  I don't think a 12% margin nationally is going to happen.
