The average of recent polls shows the two candidates in a dead heat in each of those three states.
What Trump said: “It’s perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they can’t enter our country”.
Even if Clinton appears relatable and Trump shows he’s presidential, political experts agree that the debate will have little effect on the election.
In last month’s version of the same poll, Clinton led the head-to-head matchup by 16 points. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson received 7% support in the projection. While Clinton is ahead in the polls, her lead is fragile. Clinton leads Trump in all age, education, and income groups.
Republican Donald Trump has opened up a lead over Democrat Hillary Clinton, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released Thursday.
Clinton had a slightly larger lead among all registered voters, 43 percent-38 percent. When likely voters are asked what they would like to hear the candidates talk about, they are more likely to name jobs and the economy than any other issue. Seven in ten registered voters – including a majority of Clinton’s own supporters – say Clinton would have said this even if she were not sick. Trump does well with men, white voters and those without a college degree.
As in New Hampshire, Clinton has not trailed Trump in a public poll in Pennsylvania since late July. Results contain a margin of error plus or minus 3 percentage points. Now, by 15 points, they say she is not healthy enough. Trump has campaigned as the change agent while Clinton has had difficulty clearly articulating how she would change Washington.
Pew’s findings are hardly the first to show that voters are largely disappointed with both candidates. It indicates any edge Trump enjoyed from Clinton’s health woes and “basket of deplorables” gaffe may have been short-lived.

Moments later, the Republican presidential candidate took the stage and called King a “phenomenal persona”, adding, “Ah, there’s only one Don King”. Despite recent pools nationally showing rising approval ratings, the Suffolk poll shows 49% give him a thumbs down compared to 46% percent who approve. While stumping for Clinton at two universities in OH over the weekend, Sanders spent minimal time making a case for Clinton, but instead focused his remarks on why voters should reject her opponent.
