Four new state polls out Sunday morning from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist show that although Donald Trump leads in typically red Arizona and Georgia, they are up for grabs. And in typically close Nevada and New Hampshire,Hillary Clinton leads, but only by a razor-thin margin.

All four state polls show the race within the margin of error.

In Arizona, Trump leads by 1 point among likely voters, 42 percent to 41 percent. Among registered voters, Clinton has the 1-point advantage, 41-40. With Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein in the race, Trump leads by 2 points.

The poll confirms Arizona’s status as a battleground state in this election. The state has been solidly red since 1952, with the exception of Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election. HuffPost Pollster’s estimate based on publicly available polls gives Trump only a 1.6-point lead over Clinton.

Georgia is similarly close in the new poll, with the race tied among registered voters at 44 percent and a 3-point Trump lead among likely voters, 46 percent to Clinton’s 43 percent. That becomes a 2-point Trump lead when Johnson is included (Stein isn’t on the ballot in the state).

The Deep South state has also been competitive this cycle, but has a more recent history of shifting from blue to red despite its reputation as a Republican stronghold. Bill Clinton won Georgia in 1992 and only narrowly lost the state in 1996. The HuffPost Pollster model estimates that Trump leads by 1.5 points.
