Coming off of yet another rough week, Donald Trump still trails Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, by an average of six percentage points in national polls as of last count.
Perhaps even more perilous for Trump is his standing in critical swing states. Battleground polling out last week suggests that in both “diverse” swing states (like Florida) and “rust belt” swing states (like Ohio), Trump trails by around an 8-point margin. For a point of comparison, Mitt Romney — who has been constantly derided by Trump as a “loser” — lost Ohio by only three points, and lost Florida by only less than one point.
