Donald Trump may still be behind Hillary Clinton in most national polls, but in some all-important swing states the presumptive Republican nominee is besting his Democratic counterpart. As Politico reports, polls of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania are showing good news for Trump:
New swing-state polls released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University show Trump leading Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania — and tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio. In three of the states that matter most in November, the surveys point to a race much closer than the national polls, which have Clinton pegged to a significant, mid-single-digit advantage over Trump, suggest.
The race is so close that it's within the margin of error in each of the three states. Trump leads by three points in Florida — the closest state in the 2012 election — 42 percent to 39 percent. In Ohio, the race is tied, 41 percent to 41 percent. And in Pennsylvania — which hasn't voted for a Republican presidential nominee since 1988 — Trump leads, 43 percent to 41 percent.
The Quinnipiac polls come shortly after a Rassmusen poll put Trump ahead by 2 points nationally while an NBC poll said The Donald was only three points behind Hillary. That poll also showed that one out of every five Clinton voters thought she should have faced charges from the FBI investigation into her email scandal.
