US Election Series: Trump has momentum but that’s not enough

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has clearly got the momentum working for him, however, including us doubt whether that would really be enough. Mr. Trump has covered lots of ground since the Democratic convention in August. Compared to 7.9 points trailing, Trump has now covered 6.6 points nationally. Betting odds have also improved for Mr. Trump. 32 percent consider him as the winner in November.

But, the problem remains,

Donald Trump is trailing Hillary Clinton in the States of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia and New Hampshire. The biggest gap is in Pennsylvania (6.6 points) and the lowest is in Virginia (3.5 points). To become President Donald Trump needs to win at least one big state like Pennsylvania, which offers 20 electorates or two small states like Colorado, which offers 9 electorates. If not, his bid for the White House would be history. While  the situation has definitely improved since August but Clinton forts are far from damage in these states.

Clinton has been outspending Trump in these states in terms of advertisements, the number of offices etc. The biggest difference Donald Trump can make in winning these states would be by winning in the upcoming Presidential Debates.
