Poll: Clinton Leads Trump In Florida, Two Other Swing States

Nick Evans

Hillary Clinton is faring well in Quinnipiac University’s most recent swing state poll. 

Among likely voters in Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a narrow lead.  But the poll shows Republican candidate Donald Trump winning in Ohio.  Researchers note although 2 to 1 majorities in all four states say Clinton won the first presidential debate, it’s done little to shake up the race.  The biggest shift came in Florida, where 46 percent of respondents now favor Clinton compared to 41 backing Trump.
