Admitting that the political situation is extremely volatile, the non-partisan Cook Political Report has shifted 11 states toward Democrat Hillary Clinton for the November election.
“This has been an exceedingly unpredictable year,” the analyst said. “Although we remain convinced that Hillary Clinton is very vulnerable and would probably lose to most other Republicans, Donald Trump's historic unpopularity with wide swaths of the electorate — women, millennials, independents and Latinos — make him the initial November underdog.”
Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin were all shifted from toss-up states to leaning Democratic. The “solid Republican” states Missouri and Indiana were downgraded to “likely Republican.” New Mexico is now solidly Democratic, and North Carolina is a toss-up after leaning Republican.
The analyst also shifted Arizona and Georgia from likely Republican to leaning Republican.
Cook also moved one House race toward Democrats: Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, which was considered solid for Republicans and is now classified as a toss-up race.
Maine’s 2nd District was the only reclassification that favored the GOP, going from solid Democrat to likely Democrat. The Report classifies congressional districts in Maine and Nebraska because they are the only two states that don’t award their Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis.
Take this survey as a starting point for Trump. It highlights the fact that it will be an uphill battle for the Republican to overcome his historic negatives in order to win the White House.
It can be done, but Trump has to either shore up his support among millenials, minorities, and especially women or find a way to depress the turnout for those groups. The latter might be easier considering what Trump has been saying on the campaign trail.

Pure bovine feces.
American Thinker playing games again.
BULLHOCKEY!!!
The phrase “non-partisan” has no bearing on political leanings. And Charlie Cook being praised by all the networks and the NYT over and over speaks volumes.
bs.....day after day after day..
.,.has AT been anti Trump?
McCrory saw the tranny & Immigration issue the same time you could count on one hand the number of elected Republicans who stood up for borders.
The NC polls are wrong and Pat knows what he is doing.
Trump, Sessions, McCrory, Vitter & Steve King.
Id like to know how they think any other candidate apart from Trump was going to get 12-20% of the black vote, whatever % of latino, other groups without majorly deflating one of the groups.
Trump is going to annihilate Cankles.
She is a robot who can only spew focus group talking points.
Trump is anything but a robot.

Has anyone seen an article, ever that talks about the unpopularity of a democrat within a demographic? How does Hillary fare against white married females? Latino men?
“The analyst” says so.
Not to attack Cruz again, but “charter schools, charter schools, charter schools, civil rights” hasn’t worked.
McCrory & LePage are the only governors who are pro-borders, Id say they are better than Brewer who is clueless but correct on Trump and the delegate stealing.
We are “awake” now, and realize 99% of “news” is gov’t propaganda, like Pravda in the old USSR. Deliberate mis and dis-information, from polls to “news” stories.
After so many Christians praying for this country for so many years, all the while observing our country turn its back on God, I am inclined to believe that He, with His Goodness and Mercy, is granting American one last chance. That chance’s name is Donald J. Trump.
Trump was up 1 point in a Georgia poll today....Trump can win, but if people think it’s going to be easy they are kidding themselves. That clown Romney was right about one thing: 47% of this country is gone. That where Hillary starts.
A task for us all. Let's find out how "non-partisan" the "non-partisan Cook Political Report" is.
millennials hate Hilda because of the enabiling
RE: .,.has AT been anti Trump?
I’ve read or skimmed through a lot of AT articles the past 8 months.
It is a mix of pro and anti Trump articles depending on the author.
Jesus is still King, no matter what happens.
RE: charter schools, charter schools, charter schools, civil rights” hasn’t worked.
So, the solution is to abandon the idea?
No. You can fund Charter Schools and you can have tax reform, but the average voter doesn’t care.
