Close races in NH, AZ, NV and GA in NBC/Marist polls (RV, LV)

[Lincoln Councillor Dwarven Dragon]

Nevada is a toss-up. We've known that for a while now.

[‼realJohnEwards‼]

As for the polls, NH is an outlier.

The other three are interesting though, and we keep on seeing this very narrow Clinton lead bordering on a tie in NV coupled with a very narrow Trump lead bordering on a tie in AZ. Nevada was 15 points to the left of Arizona in 2012, so what gives here?

Education gap, plus abysmal Hispani turnout in AZ.

[Erich Maria Remarque]

538 added +2 towards Trump.

The RV numbers for reference

Arizona

Clinton 41, Trump 40 (2-way)
Clinton 37, Trump 37, Johnson 13, Stein 4 (4-way)

Georgia

Clinton 44, Trump 44 (2-way)
Clinton 42, Trump 41, Johnson 11 (4-way)

Nevada

Clinton 46, Trump 41 (2-way)
Clinton 41, Trump 39, Johnson 9, Stein 3 (4-way)*

New Hampshire

Clinton 40, Trump 40 (2-way)
Clinton 37, Trump 36, Johnson 17, Stein 3 (4-way)

*Stein is not on the ballot in NV

[NOVA Green]

Hmmm....

So now we're back to more of a "traditional" scenario where Dems do better with RVs than LVs, so pollster LV modeling starts to move front and center.

Additionally, it looks like turnout and GOTV could actually make GA and AZ competitive, despite Trump's recent consolidation of Republican support in many states.

[Devils30]

We are going to get at least one state where the polls are off by 7% on election night

[pbrower2a]

Nevada usually breaks D late. Harry Reid has won some elections that the experts expected him to lose due to slight leads for opponents. 

[Classic Conservative]

Any crosstabs?

[Gass3268]

Stein shouldn't have been included in the NV poll, as she is not on the ballot. NOTA however should have.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

I don't trust the Nv results. Clinton is very likely ahead 3-4 points.

Why because you don't like the results?

Marist has them. Interesting look at Georgia. Sadly surprised how much white college grads are sticking with Trump. I called out some numbers.

I know you shouldn't get too bogged down by crosstabs, but Clinton is doing better among Likely Voters in Washoe County, NV than Clark County, NV. lol

[NOVA Green]

Gass is again on the mark.... unique to NV but still gets anywhere from 1-4% on any given Presidential GE.

That means 25% of whites for Clinton (20% in 2012; 23% in 2004/2008), with enough left to potentially get her to 27%. Twenty-seven is the magic number in Georgia this year...arguably even less if anywhere near 10% of voters actually go for Johnson.

[HillOfANight]

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I realized I was using the registered voter pdf. This is likely voter.

Trump is also opening a Sandy Springs office to shore up his weak support among the educated in North Fulton.

[dspNY]

Some context to this poll and the other Georgia polls...

Trump is opening a campaign office in Sandy Springs (just north of ATL) so the smoke about Georgia being a battleground is now fire because he is more reluctant to open campaign offices

We just opened an office in Hudson, MA so does that mean that it's Battleground MA

[ProudModerate2]

NH seems too generous to Trump, AZ and GA seem way to generous to Clinton.

Hillary has an office in Boston, does that mean that she is wasting money?

Yes, Massachusetts is noncompetitive, unlike Georgia

Nothing is wrong with opening offices in "safe states" assuming that those resources are primarily aimed at phone banking for actual swing states, and plus some resources going into supporting competitive Senate/House and state elections.
