Even as Donald Trump trails Hillary Clinton by a significant margin in national polls, 6.8 percent in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, he seems to do better in state surveys. Take the raft of results the Democratic firm PPP released today from five 2012 target states and Arizona, which some Democratic strategists think or hope their party can win.

The results showed Trump leading 44-40 percent in Arizona and Clinton leading in all five 2012 target states, but in four cases by between 2-4 percent and in the case of Wisconsin by 6 percent.
