Fox News reports that Donald Trump has a “fifteen state strategy” to win the presidency, which combines some traditional swing states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as some big, traditionally-heavily Democratic states like California and New York.

(Let’s put aside the fact that this map of “fifteen states” only shows ten, and skip over the “Obama 57 states” joke, too.)

What’s intriguing are the three traditional swing states that aren’t highlighted, presuming they weren’t left off by accident or because of oversight.

North Carolina is looking really close in the polling we have so far. Mitt Romney won the Tarheel State, 50.3 percent to 48.3 percent, and Obama won the state in 2008.

Trump won New Hampshire in the primaries, and it’s one of the few swing states in the northeast. George W. Bush won the state in 2000 and narrowly lost in 2004. Polls since early April have shown a stunning range, from a Clinton lead of 19 points (WMUR/University of New Hampshire) or a tie (Boston Herald/Franklin Piece University).

There hasn’t been much polling in Iowa, and none of it has been since January. But Bush won it in 2004 and based upon past margins, Iowa looks like slightly lower-hanging fruit than Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, which did make Trump’s target list.

Also keep in mind, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Iowa all feature key Senate races, with Kelly Ayotte, Richard Burr and Chuck Grassley seeking reelection.

Obviously, if you win California’s 55 electoral votes, you don’t have to worry as much about North Carolina’s 15, New Hampshire’s four, and Iowa’s six. But Trump has a lot of ground to make up in the Golden State; an early May poll had Clinton ahead of Trump, 56 percent to 34 percent.
