The difference between a lock and a lean at the same number is the past history of people changing their minds on election day.I'm just reporting what RCP said.And
(drum roll)
Connecticut from likely Clinton to leans Clinton
New Jersey from likely Clinton to leans Clinton
Colorado from leans Clinton to toss up
Missouri from toss up to leans Trump

Most recent polling in CT is +15 for Clinton. So you tell me, is that "leans" or "likely"? They also show Texas as "leans" Trump, despite polling showing Trump by 6 points, and, ya know, the fact that it's Texas. Would you say that Texas is merely "leaning" toward Trump, or would you say that Texas is a lock for Trump? South Carolina shows as "leans" Trump, despite +15 polling.
Maybe you should pay more attention to numbers instead of pretty colors.
Of course. Like I said, you are reporting pretty colors. Ignoring the actual facts and figures.
How do your facts conflict with the pretty colors ?
If you had actually read, you would already have your answer. States are being labeled as without much regard. Kentucky polls at +13 for Trump, but is labeled as a lock. Why is +13 a lock in KY, but +15 is merely "leans" in CT?
Evidently in Kentucky the polls have produced fairly accurate numbers where at the same time the polls in Connecticut have been shown to swing drastically.
