How AP rates the presidential race and the Road to 270
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton continues to hold advantages over Donald Trump in the states she would need to win the presidency in November, but Donald Trump has made gains in some battleground states.
The Associated Press this week moves Iowa to leaning Republican after recent polls there by Quinnipiac and Monmouth Universities showing Trump's lead there in the high single digits.
Many national and battleground state polls have showed Trump gaining on Clinton, but several surveys released last week, including an AP-GfK poll released Thursday, suggest the former secretary of state may be consolidating a national lead ahead of this week's first presidential debate.
