Yes, he is. Someone the other night on Foxnews said he's going to get his wall alright...just not the one he envisioned. Latino's are building a yuuuuge wall around the WH to prevent loser donald from getting in!
With 4 days remaining ballots returned in Colorado: 35.3% democrat and 35.3% republican
The trend continues as democrats continue spiraling downward. If you dig a little deeper in to the unaffiliated numbers, at this point, it is much more favorable to republicans than it was in 2012.
Doesn't necessarily mean 87K. That is how people registered, not necessarily voted. Could be a 100K lead, but could be alot less. Over 1 million votes not affiliated, and who knows how many crossed over. I read where there are alot of voters in the mix who did not vote in 2012....so could be latino vote, or folks wanting to make a statement this go around...
The data available as of yesterday shows republicans at 35.2% and democrats with 34.8%. The trend continues.
re: Colorado
Yes but polls consistently show that not all Repubs vote for Trump and not all Dems vote for Clinton. One of the last polls out of Colorado (PPP) shows 85% of Dems are voting for Clinton while 79% of Repubs are voting for Trump. So we can project the vote share among the two parties:
35.2% x 0.79 = 27.8% Trump
34.8% x 0.85 = 29.6% Clinton
Trump will need almost 2% more Repub ballots than Dem ballots to tie Clinton in the two-party contest.

I think it's most likely a bigger lead for Clinton since most results I have seen show that more republicans are voting for Clinton than you have Dems voting for Trump. Unless the others and non affiliated break hugely in Trumps favor he's probably well over 100K behind.

Seem to recall reading that in Florida, 29% of Republicans reported voting for Clinton, while only 6% of Democrats report voting for Trump.

One of my relatives hasn't voted since he voted for Reagan as California governor ages ago. Said Reagan ruined California and then went on to ruin the nation and felt like Reagan had the wool pulled over his eyes, that Reagan was not honest in his campaigning. So has not voted since.
He registered and voted this time. He may be an isolated example, but it may be that a lot of folks who think what difference does it make anyway, may actually be getting out to vote this time.
Whether that breaks for or against Trump, remains to be seen.
Keep reading that Latino registration drives and GOTV programs have stepped up their game this time around. We'll see.

That would be correct. 87k is the advantage in registered voters who have returned ballots, but doesn't everyone voted that way. I have seen reports that the npa vote leans morr Latino which will likely help Clinton.
Also regarding some of the polls with Republicans voting Clinton and Democrats voting Trump is a difference between how someone is registered and how they id.
It has changed somewhat due to affiliation changes, but northern Florida still tends to have a decent amount of Registered Democrats that vote increasingly Republican and might id that way. Likewise in southern Florida you have quite a few registered Republicans that vote increasingly Democratic. This is probably the most true with the Cuban population which was once heavily Republican, but have trended more D.
So while noting how each side has voted so far (according to the polls anyway) might be a good indicator, it might not be a complete one because party id doesn't always match up with party registration.
