There are other polls in that grouping that aren't as favorable to Hillary, but overall the state polls are looking good for Hillary, even though they vary in weird ways just like national polls. The "average" view of the election is very favorable to Hillary right now.

(170 posts)They were conducted over a 25 days or so. Hard to believe, this poll has Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin too close.
You are hilarious.

(5,648 posts)These are useless internet polls - And I won't take kindly to being called a troll since I am a huge Hillary supporter. I just like to deal in facts, not fantasy.

(1,907 posts)I live near Conroe Texas. My next door neighbor has a extended family around here. 6 families and houses total. They had been a mix of democrat and republican voters. Since the campaign has been going they have shifted over to supporting Hillary. Some are still planning on voting down ticket republican. But some have also moved from that. Some moved over because of the Cruz/dipshit row and won't vote for him. Some because of the rhetoric against latinos have moved over since it is a mixed European Mexican heritage family. I don't know or think it will turn Texas blue, but there has been a shift.

(5,648 posts)Regardless, 6 families in one location are in no way representative of all of the likely voters in the state of Texas. Nice to talk about, but not significant in any way.

(1,907 posts)Some are blue collar with good jobs some college educated with white collar jobs. As I said it was just a small group of people I know and have met. And it was just anecdotal to the OP.

(5,648 posts)Read my post below - these are useless internet polls. And before you call me a troll - consider that I am a huge Hillary supporter. However, I can't disregard facts. If you actually want facts instead of fantasy, check out Nate Silver's predictions for the election and how Hillary's lead has narrowed in all swing states: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ Then click on the individual swing states and their polls and you will see how the races in almost all of the swing states have tightened considerably.

(5,648 posts)From the Washington Post/Survey Monkey website:
This Washington Post-SurveyMonkey 50-state poll was conducted online August 9 - September 1, 2016 among 74,886 registered voters, including between 546 and 5,147 respondents in each state. The sample was drawn among the respondents who completed separate, user-generated polls using SurveyMonkeys platform during this period. Results are weighted to match demographic characteristics of registered voters in each state. No margins of sampling error are calculated, as this statistic is only applicable to randomly sampled surveys.
In other words the total populations surveyed by these consisted only of those people who registered on the SurveyMonkey website. This means that the poll populations surveyed are unlikely to be accurate representations of the states' registered voters.
I would pay absolutely no attention to these polls.
