There are other polls in that grouping that aren't as favorable to Hillary, but overall the state polls are looking good for Hillary, even though they vary in weird ways just like national polls. The "average" view of the election is very favorable to Hillary right now.

1. Not good polls

They were conducted over a 25 days or so. Hard to believe, this poll has Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin too close.

2. Lol!

You are hilarious.

7. He's nervous

His guy is losing red states

13. No, read my reply below

These are useless internet polls - And I won't take kindly to being called a troll since I am a huge Hillary supporter. I just like to deal in facts, not fantasy.

4. Texas, Arizona, and Georgia all have large populations of Hispanics

Texas almost 40%, Arizona 30%, and Georgia has 9% (32% black too)

10. Yep, Survey Monkey polls are not that good.

Let's not cheer too quickly here, we still have a lot of work to do in these states.

15. Survey polls are not worth the paper written on. nt.

3. I can only speak to a very few people I know

I live near Conroe Texas. My next door neighbor has a extended family around here. 6 families and houses total. They had been a mix of democrat and republican voters. Since the campaign has been going they have shifted over to supporting Hillary. Some are still planning on voting down ticket republican. But some have also moved from that. Some moved over because of the Cruz/dipshit row and won't vote for him. Some because of the rhetoric against latinos have moved over since it is a mixed European Mexican heritage family. I don't know or think it will turn Texas blue, but there has been a shift.

9. I would suspect that most of the people living near you are college educated

Regardless, 6 families in one location are in no way representative of all of the likely voters in the state of Texas. Nice to talk about, but not significant in any way.

16. A split on education

Some are blue collar with good jobs some college educated with white collar jobs. As I said it was just a small group of people I know and have met. And it was just anecdotal to the OP.

5. But...but the mainstream media

Says the race is tightening??

[CajunBlazer]

11. The race is tightening

Read my post below - these are useless internet polls. And before you call me a troll - consider that I am a huge Hillary supporter. However, I can't disregard facts. If you actually want facts instead of fantasy, check out Nate Silver's predictions for the election and how Hillary's lead has narrowed in all swing states: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ Then click on the individual swing states and their polls and you will see how the races in almost all of the swing states have tightened considerably.

6. Come on, turn those states purple baby!!!

YES! GOTV!

8. Did anyone notice these are INTERNET POLLS

From the Washington Post/Survey Monkey website:

This Washington Post-SurveyMonkey 50-state poll was conducted online August 9 - September 1, 2016 among 74,886 registered voters, including between 546 and 5,147 respondents in each state. The sample was drawn among the respondents who completed separate, user-generated polls using SurveyMonkey’s platform during this period. Results are weighted to match demographic characteristics of registered voters in each state. No margins of sampling error are calculated, as this statistic is only applicable to randomly sampled surveys.

In other words the total populations surveyed by these consisted only of those people who registered on the SurveyMonkey website. This means that the poll populations surveyed are unlikely to be accurate representations of the states' registered voters.

I would pay absolutely no attention to these polls.

14. good news, if it's accurate

take with salt.
