Left of both...Clinton could still win north Carolina.

Left of both, should be R +1.5

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Left of both...Clinton could still win north Carolina.

Um, as opposed to? Probably a bit of overreaction there. Clinton can win all three, just with increasing degrees of difficulty.

The race has been very volatile. I wouldn't be concerned unless Clinton bombed the first debate.

Chances are that North Carolina would be just to right of Florida.

[Breton Racer]

As of now Hillary would lose both Ohio and Iowa, but win North Carolina.

[dspNY]

Yes and apparently there is increased Dem enthusiasm looking at the very early ballot requests compared to 2012. We'll see if that pattern holds up

North Carolina will most likely vote to the left of both Iowa and Ohio as part of its gradual leftward turn resulting from a growing number of college educated professionals and large African American population.

But the most fascinating development of this election cycle isn't the continuing trends of states such as Iowa, North Carolina, and Ohio, which were predictable, considering the demographic changes within those states and our political parties. Instead, it's the lack of a notable political realignment in a year when the Republican Party has nominated an outright bigot who dispenses with even the dogwhistle of former GOP leaders. That, along with the coming home of the overwhelming majority of Republican voters, demonstrates how Trump is not a break from the GOP norm, but merely an unrestrained embodiment of it.
