Www.nbcnews. President-elect Donald Trump heavily out-campaigned his Democratic opponent in the last 100 days of the election, spending roughly 50 percent more time in six key battleground states that pushed him to victory on Nov. 8. Over the final 100 days of the election, Trump made a total of 133 visits to Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Over the same time period, Hillary Clinton visited the first five of those states a total of 87 times. She never traveled to Wisconsin during the 102 days between the convention and the election. Instead, Clinton sent her top surrogates to Wisconsin including her running mate Sen. Tim Kaine, her daughter Chelsea Clinton and her primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Trump ended up winning Wisconsin by 1 point, the first time a Republican presidential candidate has triumphed there since 1984.

“The Trump schedule has been different this cycle than most Republicans before him,” said Republican strategist Ryan Williams, who worked for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign. “And that’s because of, I think, some interesting priorities on behalf of the campaign and the realities they’re facing.” It’s often said that the most valuable currency presidential candidates have isn’t their money—it’s their time.

When it comes to presidential elections, however, all of those states are not. A big state that could conceivably go either way is likely to receive a lot of attention from campaigns, reporters and obsessive British bloggers with too much time on their hands.

There are all sorts of oddities to this system, and I could bang on about it for ages (in fact, if that's your bag, I already have).

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls, conducted last Wednesday through Sunday, show Clinton leading Trump by 4 points in Iowa (41 percent to 37 percent), 5 points in Ohio (43 percent to 38 percent) and 11 points in Pennsylvania (48 percent to 37 percent).

Clinton’s lead shrinks in subsequent poll questions that include Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein: On a four-way ballot, the two major party candidates were tied in Iowa, while Clinton had a 4-point edge in Ohio and a 9-point lead in Pennsylvania. And even on the two-way ballot, there are warning signs for both candidates.
