You're cherry-picking numbers. The average size of a Democrat's lead in that October Quinnipiac poll was 9.4%, which isn't swing-state level. Also, although the margins of the race have narrowed considerably since March, a Quinnipiac poll taken then showed that Clinton led all Republicans by no less than eighteen points. Obama carried the state 58-41 in 2012. Connecticut's white voters are very liberal, and they're not going to swing the same way voters in other areas will, so Trump isn't winning an additional nine percent of white voters.
