Now. the reason is, if hillary clinton wins every democrat state, six presidential elections and she wins florida, thats 271 electoral votes, andrea. its over. he has to have that. that is a big state, 29 electoral votes. you cant make that up. with all the -- i dont think this is happening, but the new mexicos and new hampshires of the world, dont make that up. thats the one he absolutely -- that one and north carolina are the two he absolutely must have for there to be any plausible path to 27...

>> what do you mean, its like hes got no filter? we have known that for some time. >> yeah. >> except this time, hes actually -- the instructions going to his head actually come out of his mouth about being disciplined. that is some interesting stuff. jon meacham, im looking at all these numbers, and there are a lot of things that are fascinating. pennsylvania only being a four-point race, but again, i think its the democrats in the end anyway. michigan, yesterday, i said i saw no evidence that ...

Presidential race, sheriff joe arpaio is running for re-election and democrat and republicans see more intensity because of that race among latinos. >> a new poll shows colorado tied. talk about the significance of that. >> switch maps and come over and look at the electoral map. colorado has been a trending state blue state. if you look at the map here, heres where we are right now. if you take colorado which is a tie, if you take it away -- i have to take this off. there we go. i know what im ...

The world looks like. the reality is donald trump is making a push for new mexico, colorado. he has to win a state that has been counted in her corner to get to 270. if he wins all of the battleground states, he has to win one more place. clinton has taken a calculated risk. she spent all of her time and money in october in the battleground states that she doesnt have to win. florida, north carolina, ohio, iowa, nevada. she had put much less effort in the states that are in her core. there are s...

Stay on point. no side-tracks, donald. nice and easy. nice. >> is this an indication he believes he can actually get to 270 electoral votes? >> it sounds like he is parroting something his advisors have been telling him. the fact that hes actually following their advice is significant because he hasnt done that for much of the campaign. i am sure republicans out there are willing hed started following kellyanne conways advice a little bit sooner. as we can see from the polling and the way the po...

Battleground states. nevada, utah, arizona, florida, ohio, and as you are saying, north carolina, that still has him short. remember, if he could flip a state like new hampshire and then maybe get that congressional district up in maine he might be able to get to 270 that way. just to show you how important north carolina is, in is that scenario, though, if i gave hillary clinton north carolina, it is the state that can really block donald trump. and take a look at the state of play in north car...

Obamas legacy. >> ladies, i got something out of those two closing statements. i appreciate the segment. lets get over to, oh, first, i have to tell you that election day is only five days away. be sure to join cnn for special all-day coverage next tuesday. well have every race and result covered for you. >> i never wanted anything to end more, including even the most invasive medical exams. were going to dive into the latest polls and look at where the paths to 270 stand, next.

Hard. >> you say poll of polls. florida. thats why cnn does the poll of polls. florida, clinton is back up there. the average is its a tie. that means if it is tied there, does trump now have a better potential path to 270? >> yes. if he loses north carolina or florida, it is hard for him to get there. the straight forward path is to hold the states romney won in 2012. which means north carolina. >> he has to hold north carolina? >> yes, i think. and then add ohio, florida and pennsylvania. penn...

Surrogates. but donald trump plans two visits in these final days to tiny new hampshire. the granite state may offer just four electoral votes but they are the final four in two trump campaign scenarios. one where he just crosses the finish line ton victory. and another where he -- both he and clinton fall just short of the 270 neemded to win. yes, they think about these things. in that case, the election will be settled by the house of representatives. theres a significant never trump faction. ...

New mexico and new hampshire, that would be enough to win. she doesnt need florida and she doesnt need ohio or north carolina. those are insurance. the question is whether by focusing so much on those states she left any opening for donald trump who is now pushing for several of those states in her inner 270. >> so, what do we see in the numbers of our polls? >> david, you can comment on this. >> i dont have a wall. >> hold on, these are our swing state battleground states. he is up in arizona. ...
