Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan?

To me, the answer is Wisconsin.

PA and Mich obviously were close in the internal polls or clinton wouldn't have been there in the final day with obama.

Honestly VA being that close shocked me. I knew it was over when she only won by 1-2%

At Green Bay in September. Surprised then they go blue so often. Many people I talked to were all republican. They pushed the conversation, not us.

FLORIDA

Wisconsin... I said to the wife while watching that it was fool's gold. Mich or Penn was the key to break 270... I was shocked how early Wisconsin was called

Florida.

Winning Florida by that slim of a margin lead me to believe he'd have trouble flipping any states he needed for 270. To win FL by that little and then turn around and win WI, MI, and PA is a shock when taken as a whole.

Union oriented. Both Major Population centers are heavily democrat for different reasons - Madison with UW and Milwaukee with a diverse population. Unions usually bring in the rest.

Wisconsin hands down

After he won Florida, Ohio, and NC; I knew he was in the driver's seat to flip a few states, but Wisconsin was definitely not on my radar compared to Michigan or Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin, no doubt.

Wasn't even considered a swing state, and I don't think either candidate really campaigned there much. When they called it for Trump around like 11:30, I knew Trump had won, and that MI and PA would follow.

Nobody saw Wisconsin going red.

Pennsylvania shocked the hell out of me. I never thought they would vote for President Trump. I'm still flabbergasted.

None of those really surprised me,because I go to all of them quite a bit,and talk to people.
Was actually more surprised at how close Virginia was. I think Hillary only won by .2%

probably Florida.

Hillary did well in the crucial areas of the state yet still managed to fall in the electoral count.

Minnesota. That state voted for Mondale, and still took hours to call.

Wisconson - can't believe it went so comfortably red before NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Stunning!

Florida didn't surprise me a bit. The Latino vote there is much different than in other states,but the polls and dem campaign still lumped them into the same group. Huge mistake,and actually pretty disrespectful to them.

I'm surprised that he won Ohio by the margin that he did.

Virginia being close was the biggest "Oh shite, we may actually win this" moment for me.
