So what. The red states’ representatives also control congress but they don’t do squat.

I’ve been reasonably satisfied with my representatives from Texas in Congress. Maybe you should be addressing that in your state.

Useless stat. We do not count states in presidential election, we count electoral votes.

Anyone willing to do the math?

Sadly, the electoral college does not apportion votes equally among states.

LOL, Washington and Oregan "lean" left? If they leaned any further left they'd be lying on their left arm.

I also don't at all see MN, MI, PA, LA, GA or ME as "competitive." Likewise, no way, NO WAY, does NH lean Republican. Don't know about AZ and TX, but people from those states will have to say what they think. I had thought GA and AZ were consistently rated as the two most conservative states in the country, though.

Either way, look at the map and realize that the GOP needs all three swing states (VA, OH, FL), plus at least one state that hasn't gone for the GOP since 2004 or earlier. If we can't take the White House this time around, I would consider it a strong indication that the GOP has become a regional party only.

“Sadly, the electoral college does not apportion votes equally among states.”

You would like to see Delaware have the same number of Electoral Votes as Texas?

Which shows the GOPe claim that Cruz can’t win because he can’t gain any states Obama won is nonsense.

I was actually more interested in the trend. But yeah, Cal, NY, and Ill all falling into commie hands is not good for the election.

That poll must be based on voting age population or some similar lame, unrepresentative of who-shows-up-for-elections polling group. Calling GA “competitive” is a laugh. I think every statewide office is held by a Republican. Jason Carter and Sam Nunn’s niece got trounced for Governor and U.S. Senator in 2014.

So I just skimmed the article at the link, and I’m right. “all U.S. adults”. LOL, useless at best, a push-poll lie is probably more like it.
