Hillary Clinton is closer to winning red states than she is to losing swing states

A new Washington Post poll shows Donald Trump losing Virginia by eight points. Another new poll shows him down in another swing state, Florida, by nine. And last week, polls showed Hillary Clinton opening double-digit leads in other key swing states.

In fact, we're getting to the point where the Democratic presidential nominee is closer to winning red states than she is to losing swing states.

Just over the past week, Clinton has come within single digits in public polls of Missouri ( minus two), Georgia ( minus four), Texas ( minus six), Kansas ( minus five), Arizona ( minus two) and South Carolina ( minus two). Another internal Democratic poll in Indiana had Clinton tied with her Republican rival.

Only one of those states has gone Democratic since 1996 — Indiana in 2008. In the last nine presidential elections, these states have gone Republican a grand total of 58 out of 63 times.
