HMM: Clinton reshuffles the swing state deck.

By announcing Wednesday that the rescheduled event will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, rather than Green Bay, Wisconsin — the original plan several weeks ago — the presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign telegraphed that it sees newfound promise in a battleground state that narrowly rejected Obama in 2012.

Earlier this month, the major pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action signaled the same, announcing it would expand its swing state ad barrage beyond its original list to North Carolina.

North Carolina and Indiana are the only two states Barack Obama won in 2008, but then lost in 2012.

On the flip side, Rasmussen says Trump has surged this week and now leads Clinton nationally 43%-39%.
