Key states tilting toward Trump after FBI's October surprise

The FBI’s October surprise appears to have improved Donald Trump’s overall standing in the electoral map, with the latest Fox News Electoral Scorecard showing several states shifting in his favor since last week.

The Fox News Decision Team announced updates to the scorecard Thursday afternoon, reflecting the following changes based on recent polling and other factors:

New Hampshire moves from “lean Democrat” to “toss-up”
Ohio moves from “toss-up” to “lean Republican”
Indiana moves from “lean Republican” to “solid Republican”
Missouri moves from “lean Republican” to “solid Republican”

Despite the changes, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton maintains the clear advantage, and Trump’s path to victory remains a tight one.

But the latest ratings show Clinton’s advantage diminishing.

If Clinton were to win all the states leaning toward or solidly in the Democratic column, she’d have 283 electoral votes – more than the 270 needed to win.

One more win in North Carolina, Michigan or Pennsylvania could get him to victory.

The updates and fresh polling comes in the wake of the FBI’s decision Friday to revisit the Clinton email investigation after new messages were found on the laptop used by ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The Clinton campaign and its allies have downplayed the significance of the messages while questioning the FBI’s announcement so close to Election Day.

Trump, meanwhile, has seized on the news as well as other developments to press his case in the final stretch.

Speaking Thursday in Jacksonville, Fla., he cited reporting by Fox News that an FBI investigation regarding the Clinton Foundation has become a “high priority.”

He also touted new polls in Ohio and elsewhere showing him ahead.

Clinton and President Obama have, for their part, made an impassioned case to voters to not elect Trump.

It is getting close to close to call.

If Trump keeps his head out of his ass he just might win ..... but then again those electronical voting machines just might be enough to get Hillary inside the white house.

Soon it will be all over and then we will be able to see who was lying to us (media) and its "crooked" polls.

Whatever happens Trump proved everyone in the media 100% wrong. He got the nomination fair and square unlike Hillary. He knocked off some real heavy hitters unlike Hillary. He will likely get more minority votes than Romney could have dreamed of despite being labeled a racist every single week by the media.

Really proud of him. He stuck to his principles and much of the country stuck with him. He never bashed Democratic supporters like Hillary did with Republicans either calling them deplorable. Who does that? Good luck uniting the country and getting anything accomplished with that attitude. She burnt the bridge down before she even tried to cross it.
