I just checked the numbers for Hillsborough county. Trump is definitely picking up ground today. As things sit now, with all the voting that has taken place, absentee, early, and today, in the county, it's Clinton 52% Trump 48%. I imagine that because of enthusiasm, Clinton's votes are done, and Trump will continue to lower the gap, turnout is already at 61%, so I don't think it will move that much.

So bad news, Clinton will win Hillsborough county by about 4%. GOOD NEWS, Obama won the county over Romney by 7%. So, Trump is going to do at least 3% better than Romney in Hillsborough county! And he lost the state by less than 1%!

I would say that looks VERY good for Trump. And this is I think a conservative estimate. For deciding the unaffiliated split, I gave Trump a 3% win of unaffiliated for the county. It will probably be higher.

I’m not sure. I know quite a few demo who may vote Trump. I don’t think you can assume much from party affiliation this year. It’s hard to tell—metro Tampa will go Dem, but Trump may do better than expected.

It’s the “Other” vote that determines where the county goes, and they are mostly Repub. So, Dem 50 to Rep 48 looks excellent!

Can you point to where you found the “Clinton 52% Trump 48%”?
