Chuck Todd: NC is starting to look bad for Republicans

Chuck Todd told viewers to ignore the polls that have Hillary ahead, and look what's happening on the ground. Her time and money spent early on voter contact and GOVT is already starting to pay off in voter registration and early voting numbers.
