With the first presidential debate and the vice presidential debate in the can and the second presidential debate fast approaching, Donald Trump is behind the 8-ball in the polls. Nate Silver of 538 says, “State polls we’ve gotten over the past 3 days are starting to look like early August or June, i.e. when Clinton had a BIG lead nationally.” In the RealClearPolitics average, Clinton now leads in all the major swing states but Iowa (Trump +5.0) and Ohio (Trump +2.4); she’s ahead in Florida (+2.2), Pennsylvania (+6.0), Michigan (+5.0), North Carolina (+1.3), Colorado (+3.3), Nevada (+1.4), Wisconsin (+5.0), Minnesota (+4.3), Virginia (+7.0), New Hampshire (+6.0). Were the election to be held today, Clinton/Kaine would pull down 322 electoral votes. That means Trump would be just 6 electoral votes better than Mitt Romney against Barack Obama.
So, what does Trump have to do to turn this all around?
