is narrow and they don t want to take any chances. that s for sure. you don t want to take any chances. speaking also to the governor s point. what s really awesome is two weeks ago hillary clinton was leading in michigan by 13 points. so it s gone from eight to six to five. now she s only four points ahead in a state where democrats have won that since 1988. and, speaking of on the air, hillary clinton hillary is putting $2 million on the air in michigan. that, in addition to president obama being there, they re worried. what s going on? beds are damp. you re saying democrats are wetting their beds? in general. but that s a four-point lead. that s within the margin of error for democrats. that s scary for democrats. absolutely. i ll tell you why. there is a crack in the blue wall. it has to do with trade. this is a ghost of bernie sanders. yep. there is a discontent with some democratic voters over trade and some blame hillary
at the magic wall, david? it is certainly causing heartache for the democrats. upper midwest region here. minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. this is the heart of hillary clinton s electoral map advantage. take a look at the most recent poll. in michigan, 42% to 38%. that s a four-point race in a state where barack obama beat mitt romney by nine points. this is too close for comfort for the democrats. that s why you see so much campaign activity there. also out last night, brand new des moines register poll in iowa, 46% to 39%, seven-point lead for donald trump in iowa. this causes concern not so much about iowa, which the clinton folks already thought was out of reach, but what else is happening around iowa, if that
you have a right to health care. we have voted on this. you are an american citizen. we have rights! outgoing congresswoman michele bachmann from the great state of minnesota. she is making the case that repealing obamacare is the christian thing to do. let s repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. let s not do that. let s love people as people of faith, i am a born again believer in jesus christ. and i believe that as part of my duty as a believer in christ and what he has done for me. that we should do for the least of those who are in our midst. that s my personal belief and my personal conviction. she says that obamacare is going to kill people bachmannball has used her faith to advance her celebrity more than anybody else in congress.
today. pence, tomorrow they say they re within striking distance. is hillary clinton at risk losing your state which has not gone republican since 72? i don t think so. you know, jake, i m kind of the poster boy for close elections. i had a close election here in minnesota in 2008, won by 312 votes. what i ve been focused on the last actually couple of months is on turnout, especially last month, doing canvassing all over the country, talking to canvassing offices. urging our people to get on the doors. i think we have a great ground game. i ve been spending this last week in minnesota doing that. let s turn to another traditionally blue state and presidential contest. michigan. hillary clinton, bill clinton, barack obama all campaigning there in the final stretch before the election. it s a state that was once
map stands right now. plus the best political minds from insights on the campaign trail. edition of state of the union with limited commercial interruptions starts now. hello. i m jake tapper in washington. the state of our union is down to the wire. just hours to go now until the american people pick a new president. the stakes are high. so are the tensions. especially, perhaps, among democrats who see the race tightening in key states. hillary clinton s campaign has been banking on a blue wall. die-hard democratic states she was banking on for a victory. donald trump says not so fast. we re going into what they used to call democrat strong holds where we re now either tied or leading. we re going to minnesota. we re going up to minnesota which traditionally has not been republican at all and we re
