That’s in keeping with polling in the state that has consistently shown Clinton well ahead in the swing state.

Hillary Clinton holds a double digit lead – 15 points – on Donald Trump in New Hampshire, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
“When we add them we find Clinton’s support drops to 48 percent, and Trump’s support falls to 37 percent, so despite Trump’s close ties to New Jersey, most are expressing dis-ease with his candidacy”, she said. Trump did, however, top 50 percent of the vote in the poll for the first time in the mostly rural South and Southwestern part of the state where he leads Clinton 51-30.
In other recent national polling, Clinton leads head-to-head match-ups against Trump, with the Democrat holding 47.7 percent support compared to 42.2 percent for the NY businessman, according to averages compiled by RealClear Politics. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
But the race remains tight in key battlegrounds like OH, and Trump has even edged Clinton in at least one national survey since the Billy Bush bombshell.
In his final televised debate against Clinton the night before, Trump would not commit to accepting the result of this year’s election.
The IBD/TIPP poll previously was monitoring support for the candidates in the 2016 election on a monthly basis.
The Drudge Report’s instant poll – which collected opinions from more than half a million people, not just the few hundred CNN garnered – had Trump winning the debate 86 percent to 13 percent.
Clinton is favored by 47 percent of likely voters in the state, and Trump is backed by 40 percent. All major national surveys now have Clinton in front – with the exception of the LA Times/USC Tracking poll which has historically put Trump ahead, but which now has the pair neck-and-neck at 44 points each.
“During the debate, Clinton repeatedly struggled to defend her policy positions and the Clinton Foundation scandal against sharp questioning from moderator Chris Wallace”. Portman has 46 percent support, and Strickland has 31 percent.
Forty-seven percent of likely voters surveyed said they would vote for Clinton, while 38% say they would vote for Trump. Georgia has voted heavily Republican in every presidential election since 1992, when they last voted for a Democrat, former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton, as before, maintains the clear advantage going into November 8 and has many more paths to the necessary 270 electoral votes than Trump.
