Except for a few outliers, these numbers look incredibly credible ...

And yes, add them to the database.

You're going to add a poll that has Clinton + 1 in TX while having Trump +3 in OH and +4 in IA? Alright

Reading through the results.

2-way: Clinton +2 in FL and CO, TIED in GA. RIP Swing state Connecticut. Trump up 15 in IN, 4 in IA. ME within single digits. Clinton up 2 in MI, 9 in MN, Trump only up TWO in MS. RIP swing state Missouri. Clinton up 9 in NH, 5 in NV, tied in NC. Trump is up 3 in Ohio, somebody assassinated all the happy Dakota farmers. Clinton up in TX Huh Trump up 7 in SC (maybe next time), Clinton up 8 in VA, 4 in PA, RIP swing states Oregon, Utah. #Trumpunder60 in WV.

4-way: tie in CO, Clinton +2 in FL, Trump +1 in GA. Trump +4 in IA, Clinton +3 (!) in ME, Clinton +1 in MI, Clinton +6 in NH, JOHNSON AT 25% IN NM, UT within single digits, STEIN AT 10% IN VT.

smallest sample size: VT with 550, largest: TX with 5,147

It's good to see a 50-state poll that is actually good. Can't wait to see fivethirtyeight add these.

If you do 50 polls 3 or 4 of them will be outliers and in this case it looks like TX, MS, MI and WI are the outliers

Despite how atrocious HRC is performing, Trump is really doing damage. Obviously, I am taking this with a grain of salt but god how bad is trump gonna ruin the down ticket candidates across the country.

Gary Johnson is at 25% in New Mexico, close to overtaking Trump for 2nd place.

How is Mississippi, Texas and Georgia a toss-up when states like Ohio and Iowa are on the Republican side?

2-way map (shading based on size of the lead):



Clinton 357
Trump 150
Tied 37

4-way (shading based on size of the lead):



Clinton 298
Trump 193
Tied 47

Strength maps (based on the 4-way; shading is relative, 50% shading for Clinton and Trump means 36-40%, for Johnson it's 7-9%, for Stein it's 5%)

Clinton:



Trump:



Johnson:



Johnson is at or above 10% in 42 states, and at or above 15% in 14 states.

Stein:



Stein only reaches double digits in one state (Vermont), where she's still in fourth place.

Hope this is right, if only because the map would be fun.

But Clinton also losing in Iowa. We have seen a trend for polls showing Hilary Clinton slipping behind in Iowa. 

If well-educated white suburbanites are beginning to vote in Arizona, Georgia, and Texas as they are doing in such states as California and Illinois (extreme D states),  Minnesota and Pennsylvania (not-so-extreme D states) or Florida and Ohio (legitimate swing states), then Donald Trump can lose those three states. Maricopa County (including practically all of Greater Phoenix, including its suburbs) and Tarrant in Texas (including most of the western half of the Dallas-Fort Worth "Metroplex" go D if the suburban white vote goes about half D. Texas has some suburban counties (Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Johnson, Fort Bend, and Galveston that could swing enough votes to make the state swing strongly D. Enough? Who knows?

...Something on Texas: the right-wing swing in Texas in the late 1970s and early 1980s resulted from newcomers then largely from the North and West being more Republican than Texans on the whole. But such people have kept their Northern political cultures while the Republicans grabbed the "Yellow Dog" Democrats who voted for Carter in 1976 and Clinton in the 1990s. (Texas was close when Bill Clinton was running for President... but remember well that southwestern Arkansas, where Bill Clinton is from, is much like eastern Texas). The Northern political culture has become much more Democratic.

It could be that political trends in Texas lag those in such states as Florida and Virginia. Of course, this could also be a one-time event.

Hillary Clinton obviously wins Ohio before she wins Texas. 

Is it possible for a Republican nominee for President to be callow and crass enough to offend enough Texas voters to cause some a million or so to vote against that nominee? Sure. It is possible. Hillary Clinton cannot win Texas, but Donald Trump can certainly lose it.

I'm questioning the credibility of polls this season. Reuters/Ipsos just polled Texas 5 days ago with Trump leading by 17.
I doubt the state swung 18 points in 5 days.

Basically I can start over with this set of polls in my general map. There may be some strange results.... but counter-intuitive results can be right.

In a 50-state poll two or three state results should be outside the margin of error based on statistics alone.

As far as the Dallas/Fort Worth is concerned, from what I notice is that Trump support runs high. Maybe more so then previous Rep nominees.

To win Texas, you would probably have to do well in the DFW and shut out the Houston area, and just don't see Clinton doing that this time.

Yeah, that's ridiculous, but if one poll had to be wrong, it would be Reuters, which has produced some weird outliers this year. Before Reuters, there was only one poll that showed Trump leading by more than 10, and the most recent pre-Reuters poll (by PPP) showed Trump up by 6 last month (at the same time Reuters showed him up 14). The PPP poll had a larger sample size and was a better indicator of the race then. It makes more sense to assume a 6-7 point swing over the course of a month than an 18 point swing over a week. However, it's probably best to average the polls to get Trump +9, which makes the most sense.
