The results mark a huge swing from Quinnipiac polls last month, which showed Clinton ahead of Trump in Florida 47%-39% and in Pennsylvania 42%-41%. In Florida, Trump leads Clinton 41 to 36 percent, with 7 percent for Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson and 4 percent for the Green party’s Jill Stein.

The poll finds Florida voters believe Clinton is better prepared to be president and more intelligent.
“Donald Trump enters the Republican convention on a small roll in the three most important swing states in the country”, Brown said. The new poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points, but it is a worrisome swing for the Democrat. She and Trump are now tied; on June 21, Clinton led by 11 points. That survey had Clinton out front by 9 points, 45 percent to 36 percent.
A Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday showed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania. A month ago in Pennsylvania, Clinton had a 1-point edge but now Trump holds a 2-point advantage.
Trump now leads Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania – a pair of pivotal battlegrounds – according to polls released by Quinnipiac University.
Feingold’s advantage narrowed among registered voters, with 49 percent backing the former three-term U.S. Senator, while 44 percent supported Johnson. With a third party candidate factored in, Trump leads Clinton by one point in Ohio. And it bolsters what analysts and supporters of both candidates have been arguing, that either Clinton or Trump could win Florida’s 29 electoral votes in November. Quinnipiac interviewed 1,015 Florida voters, 955 OH voters and 982 Pennsylvania voters to arrive at its results. In the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll, 829 registered voters were contacted between July 5 and 10, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
And in OH the two continue to be locked in a tie with 41 percent each, which is just a slight change from the June 21 result, which found a 40-40 percent tie.
Bernie Sanders outlined the qualities he’d like to see in Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick during an interview on Wednesday, telling NBC’s “Today” show host Matt Lauer that he “would like to see the most progressive person possible”.
In the Senate race, Feingold received support from 48 percent of registered voters while Johnson was backed by 41 percent.
