Lee M. Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said in comments released with Friday’s poll numbers that Trump is “playing catchup” against Clinton in Florida, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia.
The survey showed little change from Tuesday, when Clinton had led Trump by 13 percentage points.
In Colorado: Clinton leads Trump, 43% to 35%.
The L.A. Times poll differs from more traditional polls in it relies on a panel of voters for each survey instead of a different group of respondents and utilizes a weighted scale based on the probability a respondent will vote for one candidate over another.
Earlier this month, North Carolina got a chance to see the stark contrasts between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. As for Hillary Clinton, “a quarter of Democratic voters say they are disappointed in her as the nominee; an additional seven percent say they are upset”.
Forty-five percent of likely voters supported former Secretary of State Clinton, 33 percent supported Trump, the wealthy businessman, and the remainder supported neither, according to the July 11-15 online poll.
The recent Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist poll shows that among the entire OH electorate, Clinton and Trump tie at 39 percent.
Most of those polled also viewed Trump as untrustworthy.
Clinton leads in Florida 44 percent to 37 percent; the remaining 19 percent are undecided or prefer another candidate.
That’s been consistent in recent polling: Clinton has a bigger lead in the “think will win” question than the “who will you support” one. Mr. Sanders threw Mrs. Clinton his support less than two weeks before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where she is to be formally nominated.
Among minorities (blacks and Hispanics, in this survey), Clinton is favored by a strong majority over Trump, 63 percent to 2 percent among blacks and 46 percent to 5 percent among Hispanics.
Hillary Clinton has a double-digit advantage over Donald Trump when it comes to representing voters’ views on health care, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
