But at least he's doing a fantastic, terrific job of bring out the vote in Alabama and Texa.... wait... what are the poll numbers in Texas? 
Two months from Election Day, Donald Trump’s swing state map is shrinking.
Interviews with more than two dozen Republican operatives, state party officials and elected leaders suggest three of the 11 battleground states identified by POLITICO — Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia — are tilting so heavilytoward Hillary Clinton that they're close to unwinnable for the GOP presidential nominee. But Trump remains within striking distance in the remaining eight states, including electoral giants Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The increasing likelihood that Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia are out of reach heightens the urgency for the Republican nominee to win those still-competitive states — and to recapture steam in Pennsylvania, where he once looked formidable but now trails by 10 points, according to POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average.
Trump’s prospects look dimmest in New Hampshire, the site of his first primary election triumph in February. Republicans remain convinced it’s fundamentally a swing state, but at the presidential level, where Trump hasn’t been above 40 percent in public polls since June, many concede the cause is nearly lost.
“I think the probability of Hillary Clinton carrying New Hampshire is well over 90 percent,” said Fergus Cullen, a moderate former chair of the state GOP.
