Political professionals know that a tie is a tie on these polls. i think you could attribute everything thats happening in this last week in the clinton campaign from the decisions where the candidate herself goes to where the surrogates go to the news of the fbi report and the only thing that could be worse i suppose for her is if theres another revelation coming at the last minute over the weekend. theres just not a lot of time left to seize on anything that isnt very big. a good jobs report a...

Battleground map. these yellow states are the toss-ups. if we were to give donald trump all the remaining battleground states, nevada, utah, arizona, florida, ohio -- north carolina, ohio, that only gets him to 265. if he then flips new hampshire, that gets him one away, guys and then this one congressional direct up in maine would be his 270th south central vote if he can win that one congressional direct. this is sort of the no margin for error path. but he also has another path. take a look h...

Picture. >> a lot of northerners, if thats the right word, has moved there. >> yankees. >> yankees is the right word. >> its demographics have changed. rebecca, is it going too far when everyone watches election night who won north carolina, that will tell you who won the presidency? >> i will argue it will if hillary clinton wins north carolina because, as matt was suggesting, donald trumps path to 270 just sort of disappears. maybe if hes able to pick up an unexpected state like michigan, penn...

The gop there. not as good as four years ago, but close. elsewhere, good news for the trump side, republicans building their lead in ohio, keeping a slight edge in florida. right now the north carolina clearly a top battleground state. cnns john king is back this hour to lay it all out by the numbers. there are those who say we should watch north carolina and north carolina alone. why? >> well, the democrats think and the republicans dont argue its a checkmate state. if hillary clinton can win, ...

One is a luncheon and one aimed at millennial voters. theres a sense there in georgia which is traditionally a red state. getting the millennial voters out could make all the difrnls. lo the latest poll. donald trump leads by one point. 45 to 44%. so the clinton campaign making donald trump, may recollectikin republicans play defense in some of the reliably red states and think that ultimately helps them get to 270 but above 270. well have to see if it works. again, they have the big unity event...

Negative. you wouldnt end this negative if they thought there were swing voters available. thats number one. you look at the geography and its clear both campaigns are showing us where they believe this election is. donald trump basically nationwide blitz trying to hit as many states as he can. thats a sign of a candidate thats run out of path to 270 and hoping to find, well, maybe colorado. maybe michigan. hes looking for something. he knows right now where things stand hes sort of blocked off ...

All the battleground states. everything on our map that is yellow, and that gets him to 269. he then has to win that one last battleground we have in nebraska, the second congressional district there. if he can get that one electoral vote, hes at 270. jake, thats a little different than hillary clintons path on our new map. as you noted, she dropped just below 270, but, lets see, pick any state you want here, she only needs one. lets go to the smallest one, new hampshire, four electoral votes wo...

Is that what they say? >> teachable moment for american democracy. we step back from the abyss and we stop hurling the charges that we hurl at both sides. >> lets all hold hands. >> we cant hold yours right now president theres still some cream on there. i dont want to grow hair -- why does he have hair on his knuckles? >> i dont want to talk about that. remember last -- >> jealousy is showing and its unbecoming. >> well be joined by rnc chief strategist sean spicer and filmmaker michael moore w...

With republicans. i think hes been picking up support because their natural home base is there. so again, id say, watch ohio. watch florida. thats what weve been watching since the tannon/russert days. >> hopefully you and i will chat before then but lets go to virginia and kind of talking about stability, hillary clinton has a 7 point lead according to this roanoke poll. that seems to be where the conventional wisdom is and thats good news for hillary clinton because it makes donald trumps path...

270, the number needed to win the white house. hillary clinton wants new hampshires four electoral votes. new polls just out show the race tied there. in georgia a new poll from nbc news, and the "wall street journal" has donald trump ahead by just one point, and he has no chance without georgia. joining us this morning, cnn politics reporter eugene scott. lets start here with where the polls are talking to us right now. in new hampshire, for example, four electoral votes there. key state. looki...
