you re not on all states. you re in 11 states, registered as a valid write-in option in over 30 others. we have ballot access in one way or other in 43 states. the vast majority of americans will be able to cast a vote for me. we have a modest goal. it is a hard one, admittingly, but it is what we had available to us, which is to block hillary clinton and donald trump from reaching a majority in the electoral college. so it goes to the house then? so then what happens? well, if neither gets a majority, then the top three finishers in the electoral college on november 8th would proceed to the house of representatives. right. where each state would get a vote. we think we could compete well there. why is that a more democratic option than what we have now? why is that better than the electoral college? look, it s our system. do you think it is better? it is the way the
campaign. he s been very adamant. clear difference between the candidates on this issue. that came out. in arizona, 116% increase. pennsylvania, 53%. specifically, why yes. you re getting aggressive on states that lean blue. last week, things have been moving so fast and quick. we ve seen a number of the states that are traditionally blue or purple, the numbers are closing quick. in new mexico, our polling shows the race is a dead heat. michigan, we showed as a dead heat. some of the polls you put up earlier, further back, don t incorporate the most recent news. we re seeing fast movement. that s why we have mr. trump in new mexico today. that s why he ll be in michigan tomorrow. we ll be in pennsylvania and wisconsin on tuesday. things are moving quick. we re looking very good in those states. is again, secretary clinton bumps up 42%. she s polling higher than you guys. i want to move on to money. you have nine days to go. mr. trump said to dana bash,
we ll see. thank you very much. coming up, we ll take you to colorado. a well, a state certainly in play right now with its nine electoral votes and a crucial part of the road to 270 for both drumpb and hillary clinton. donald trump knows how important this state is. that s why he was there yesterday and why he is there today. why you will hear from him live from colorado in just moments. stay with us. you re live in the cnn newsroom. glad forceflex. extra strong to avoid rips and tears. be happy, it s glad.
number one, he wasn t a candidate then. also, we ve seen does he think differently? no. but now we re contrasting on specific issues. as we talk about tax reform, as we start going into issues like school choice and how we make communities better, talking about infrastructure development, hillary clinton has not been a leader on these issues and has been a failure, i d say, on the issues. mr. trump put together a positive plan. think about this, how late in the cycle we are, that we still have a candidate, mr. trump, saying i want to be a president for all americans. not just some americans in some states or some communities. he wants to be a president for all americans. i think he s going to really surprise people on november 8th with how well he does. not just with the african-american community but even with hispanic and latino communities around the country. i think it ll be impressive. we will watch the numbers. we re out of time. thank you. appreciate it. coming up
now. you re seeing kellyanne to conway, other top trump campaign officials comes to the fbi s defense. goes to show you, until this race is over, things can get turned upside down and right side up over and over again as the days tick down, poppy. it is not over till it s over. jim, let me ask you about the strategy from the trump camp, and we ll have his spokesman, jason miller, on with me in the next block. colorado, he s down. clinton, 45%. trump, 37% in the latest public polling in colorado. perhaps the internal polling is different. perhaps this is a strategy, feeling emboldened and trying to arguably flip blue states. yeah, there is a little bit of gamemanship there. no question about it. they want to look like they re putting hillary clinton back on her heels. keep in mind, even if donald trump wins all of the states that mitt romney won in 2012, he s still well short of the 270 electoral votes he needs.
