Although it is also important to take into consideration swing state polls, which can be of vital importance in determining the outcome of the election, it would be difficult for Trump to win being 4 points adrift of Clinton nationally.

This all changed on Monday evening when forecasters sharply changed their predictions, indicating that Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina are now all in danger of receiving an impact, a state of emergency has been issued and these states are preparing themselves for the worst.

Matthew has been very unpredictable so it is best to remain updated with the forecast every few hours, it is currently thought that it could impact Florida as a category 3 storm, which is something that authorities are taking very seriously.

Texas Polls Trump vs Clinton October 2016 Winner

Texas is of course the most important state for the republicans to win, in 2008 Mccain won by 11.8 points and in 2012 Romney`s margin of victory was 15.8 points.

Texas has a total of 38 electoral votes and has voted republican in every election since 1976, so it would be hard to bet against yet another republican victory here this year.

According to the average of the last polls Trump has a 7.6% advantage, well within the margin of error.

Poll Trump vs Clinton Arizona October 2016 Who is Winning

Arizona is considered a solidly republican state, in fact the democrats have only won one presidential election here since 1948. This said the polls are currently indicating quite a close race.

Trump has the advantage there is no doubt about that and due to history, it would be safe to assume that "The Donald" as his supporters know him, will triumph here this year.

However according to the RealClearPolitics average between August 17- September 8 Trump has an advantage of 1.6%.

Donald Trump   41.6%
Hillary Clinton   40.0%

It remains to be seen what will happen on election day, however this advantage is less than the margin of victory of McCain in 2008 (+8.5) and Romney in 2012 (+9.1).  

Poll in Florida Trump vs Clinton October 2016

As far as swing states go, Florida is the most important, it is definitely a must win state for the Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump.

The race has fluctuated wildly according to which poll you choose to believe, some have shown Trump with a lead of up to 4 points and others showing Clinton well ahead, if we take into consideration the average polling numbers, based on the last 6 polls undertaken in the sunshine state between September 7-29 then it is Clinton with the lead, albeit a slender one of a mere 1.2%.

RealClearPolitics Average Florida (Polls conducted between September 7-29)

Hillary Clinton   45.0%

In 2012 it was President Barack Obama who won the state which switches every now and again between Republican and Democrat.

Latest Poll Trump vs Clinton October 4 2016

Who is currently ahead in the polls? Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? Many polls are showing vastly different levels of support for each candidate but according to a running average of the last 10 polls calculated by the site RealClearPolitics, it is the democratic candidate who has the edge over the real estate mogul turned politician.

RealClearPolitics Average (Based on polls conducted between September 15-29)

Hillary Clinton   47.3%
Donald Trump   44.4%

This is a lead of 2.9% which is very significant in a presidential race, although many commentators have speculated that the focus that Trump is putting on certain swing states could make for a much closer race than many expect.

Ohio for example is a state that Trump must win if he is to have a chance to win the White House, and the last 5 reliable polls in that state show Trump with an advantage of between 1-5%. Ohio was won by the democrats in the 2012 election.

Florida is another must win for Trump but polls there show Trump and Clinton pretty much neck and neck, if we take an average of the last 6 reliable polls in the state, Clinton has a lead of just 1.2%, although this has fluctuated wildly in the last few weeks, with some surveys showing a lead of up to 4 points for the republican contender.

Earthquake Prediction in California October 2016

A suprising warning has been issued by officials that there is an increased possibility of a moderate to strong earthquake striking southern California within the next few days.

A "Swarm" of smaller tremors set off the alert, due to the worry that these may have increased the pressure along the San Andres fault line.

Only two of the tremors were above 4.0 on the richter scale but the area that they hit are of particular concern of seismologists.

“This is close enough to be in that worry zone,” said seismologist Lucy Jones to Los Angeles Times. “It’s a part of California that the seismologists all watch.”
