Iowa barely light blue & Ohio light blue on 538

[Sunny05]

Waaaaahhh!!! I am pleased to say that fivethirtyeight.com has Iowa barely light blue! And Ohio is still light blue, less anemically so than Iowa. I hope it stays that way, but I found this to be the case ~11:15 am CDT.

Wooh. Having said that, not to ruin the wonderful moment (I am ecstatic no matter what), I have to add that my heart is with all who are in harm's way and all who are suffering. Those in Haiti, Jamaica, Florida, the Carolinas, and Taiwan (also hurricane-hit recently) come to mind. And of course all those killed or injured by gun fire, any violence, or anything as well as those facing serious illness or injuries. Ahh, I have to admit, the news about shootings and the hurricanes are keeping thoughts like this in the forefront of my mind more than usual.

However, I am still celebrating the good news for Hillary Clinton, her supporters, and all the people who would benefit from her being elected rather than any of her current opponents. And the people who would benefit include everyone in my second paragraph.

Take care, DU!

1. Iowa turning blue is a real shift, but it is also a return to the June polling.

Iowa poll: Clinton up 14 on Trump, Grassley in tight race with Dem

This shift back to the June polling is expected. We still have a month to undo Grassley, and the June poll shows that it is possible.

2. Thank you for the insight!

I am keeping my fingers crossed -- not assuming anything, but hoping and feeling optimistic.

Have a great day!
