When Trump brought on his 3rd campaign manager almost 2 weeks ago, the message being pushed by the new people around Trump was that by Labor Day, Trump would be even with Clinton or slightly ahead of her in the polls.
Watching the polls the past few days, it appears that Trump has not made up much ground at all. The RealClearPolitics Poll Average still has Clinton with a 5.0 pt lead head to head with Trump and and a 4.3 pt lead with Johnson and Stein in the race.
The biggest factor, that is hurting Trump is there appears practically no movement in his direction in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Virginia, Colorado or Oregon. If Trump does not win at least one of those states, all of which now have Clinton with more than a 7.0 lead, he cannot win the White House. Those swing states give Clinton 272 Electoral College Votes, which is 3 more than she needs to win. Also, Trump is still trailing in Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, Florida and Nevada with Georgia a statistical tie at the moment.
As we get closer to November, the odds makers in Vegas increasing Clinton's chance of winning. Over the past 2 weeks, she has gone from a 75% favorite to a 79% favorite.
If things don't improve over the next two or three weeks, does Donald fire another campaign manager?
