Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump by double-digits among likely voters in both Colorado and Virginia, two states expected to be battlegrounds this fall. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 5% and Independent American Party candidate Darrell Castle had 1%.
In a third competitive state, Iowa, Clinton led Trump, 47 percent to 44 percent, within the survey’s margin of error.
The contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in Nevada has become a statistical dead heat. Several recent polls in the state have shown Clinton with a slight advantage. She waited for the crowd to quiet down, and then Mrs. Clinton, whose tax returns show that she and former President Bill Clinton earned an adjusted gross income of $10.6 million in 2015, added, “I don’t need a tax cut”.
The majority of Nevada voters saw both candidates as neither honest nor trustworthy. Trump’s unfavorable ratings are particularly high with young voters and minority voters; 60 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 34 said they have an unfavorable view of the Republican nominee, and 64 percent of minority voters said the same thing.
The telephone poll of 500 registered Nevada voters was conducted August 15-17. They have formed a coalition with Republicans I the past, and have not promised that they’d necessarily rejoin with the other Democrats after elections.

President Obama won Nevada in 2008 and 2012, but many election analysts put the state in the toss-up column this year. Meanwhile, 55% said they were “alarmed”, 24% were “excited”, 11% said they were “bored” and 9% were undecided on just how they felt. The state is worth six electoral votes.
