Hillary Clinton’s national lead in US Election stabilises after FBI probe woes, but there’s hope for Donald Trump in local polls
Hillary's lead stabilises in national polls and the Donald's picking up in state round-ups in countdown to Tuesday
NATIONAL polls in the US presidential race suggest Hillary Clinton's lead is stabilising - but the news state by state looks not so good.
In the countdown to Tuesday's vote, national polls are looking like Donald Trump's lost his momentum and Clinton may be recovering ground for the Democrats.
Nationally, in polls held by ABC News and the Washington Post, The New Orleans Times-Picayune and the Los Angeles Times, Clinton has regained support in the past couple of days after bottoming out. Meanwhile the IBD/TIPP tracking poll has a steady race.
The pair are today campaigning in the key battleground state of Florida that could tip the election. It's the biggest swing state and vital for Trump to win.
FiveThirtyEight tonight has Hillary to take Florida at 47.6 per cent and Trump at 52.4 per cent.
This weekend will see the release of major national polls by such news groups as CNN and NBC which will impact large on predictions.
Drilling down into the state polls, FiveThirtyEight suggests the sky's darkening for Clinton. Data shows the candidates tying in New Hampshire and Clinton's lead down to three per cent in Pennsylvania.
Michigan has an unusually large number of voters who haven't made up their minds and the race is closing.
New Mexico is being considered a state to watch, says FiveThirtyEight, and Clinton is holding up better in Wisconsin and Virginia. Colorado figures are very mixed.
The website says the "map is getting messier for Clinton". Overall, it had her Electoral College chances at 65 per cent yesterday, not much changed from Thursday. And she held a three per cent lead over Trump in its national forecast.
