Morning Consult ^ | September 25, 2016 | Fawn Johnson

Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 1 percentage point among likely voters who were polled a few days ahead of the much-anticipated debate between the two presidential candidates. The debate will take place Monday evening.

The ratings for the televised matchup between the two candidates are expected to be at record highs. Two-thirds of registered voters say they expect to watch the debate, with 41 percent saying they are “very likely” to watch it.

In a nationwide poll of 1,712 likely voters taken Sept. 22 through Sept. 24, 39 percent of respondents chose Trump, while while Clinton was the choice for 38 percent. The difference between the two candidates is within the margin of error. The other candidates in the race continue to trail behind the leaders, with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 9 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent; 10 percent of respondents say they don’t know or have no opinion....

On 538, Nate Silver’s site, Trump is up to a 42.5% chance of winning in the “polls plus” section.

Basically it’s down to Trump needing one more state.

Looks like there’s still a lot of undecideds which should eventually break Trump’s way.

Brett Baier's electoral map pinpointed Maine or NH as the decider.

<>

2016 electoral map resembles 2014 midterm map----the year the Democrats got slaughtered (smirk).

2016 is an electoral projection map----2014 is Congressional race results.

UPDATES KEEP CHANGING---NM and Colo look like Trumps's.
After Hillary's limp response to the NYC bombngs, NY might also go Trump.

JUST FOR THE RECORD....let the Trump campaign know that for some of us we NEVER want to hear the words uttered from his lips that say, ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

Why does a 70 yr. old woman want to be POTUS? Seems to me she has other options most women crave: 2 grandchildren to coddle, plenty of $$$ and palatial homes for personal comfort. Great free medical benefits for her apparent health issues plus other expensive conveniences which the average citizen does not have.

If her most important desire is to be the first female POTUS in history - she will be long gone before any important historical record will be printed.

Short sighted egocentricity and blind ambition to ‘rule the masses’ much like the monarchists of medieval Europe. America is not a monarchy, oligarchydictatorship or empire - it is a Constitutional Republic for the people and by the people.

To win the debate Trump only has to do one thing:

HAMMER AWAY AT HER FAILURES.
