If CO or NV goes to Trump, he wins.
Today's RCP averages

Iowa Trump +3.7
Nebraska not in play, no idea why you listed it, it's a red state
Ohio Clinton +.5
NC Clinton +2.5
Florida Clinton +2.7
CO Clinton +7
NV Clinton +1.4

Wishful thinking isn't the same thing as polling numbers

Both are showing Trump trending upwards, and Hillary trending down.
no it doesn't, just the opposite. the LA times graph shows a decidedly downward trend for trump and upward trend for clinton since sept 30.

Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball » Clinton adds to her Electoral College edge

I think the numbers are going to look even better for Hillary by the end of the week - esp. if, as expected, more tape emerges of Donnie's "locker room talk" and perhaps even worse.

I wouldn't be surprised if Iowa went for Hillary.

But yes, Drumpf will lose by a big margin; over 100 electorals and millions of votes.

FAU BEPI

Florida
Clinton 49% (+8)
Trump 43% ( - )
Undecided 7%

Florida Latinos
Clinton 52%
Trump 33%
Johnson 7%

I also thought this was interesting:

Trump's base of support is in northern Florida, where he leads 60 percent to 39 percent. Clinton enjoys strong support in southern Florida, where she leads 47 to 38 percent, and in the central part of the state, which breaks for her 57 to 36 percent.

I think polls, for the most part, are a waste of time.
with the exception of a couple quick blips in october ( .7 and .4 ) obama consistently lead in the RCP average.

That, and yard signs....

Rally attendance is holding strong. Do any Trumpettes know how many electoral votes Trump will receive for holding the yugest, bestest rallys?

There are polls showing Trump trending upward, and Hillary down.

It seems the leaks are taking their toll.

You're right. Trump is taking a big leak right now on our constitution.

At least in some 3 weeks I won't want to listen to all the crap that I have been subject to for the last few years!

In most years, the early-October polls were pretty close to the mark, with a correlation of +0.96 between the polls and the final result. Ten of the 16 elections featured errors of 3 percentage points or less, and in all but three campaigns, the polls were within 5 percentage points of the final outcome. Even in 2012, when Mitt Romney closed his deficit against President Obama after the first debate, the polls at this point still showed Obama leading. At this point in the election cycle, the average error of polls for all elections is just 3.3 percentage points (much lower than the 4.7-point error we found for just after the conventions), and every candidate who’s been ahead in the popular vote in mid-October went on to win the election.
