With huge gender gaps marking the presidential race, Democrat Hillary Clinton is in a virtual likely voter tie with Republican Donald Trump in Florida, but holds the slimmest of leads in OH and a 10-point advantage in Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released Tuesday.

If the election were held today, and Clinton won the swing states where she’s now leading by 10 points or more, along with states that have traditionally voted Democratic and are now viewed as safe, she would win easily.
On Wednesday he drew attention to the emergence of emails from Clinton’s use of a private server when she was secretary of state during President Barack Obama’s first term, from 2009-2013.
Clinton holds a nine-point advantage over Trump in North Carolina, 48 percent to 39 percent. Clinton leads with Palmetto State voters under the age of 65: 41 percent of those voters support her, while 36 percent support Trump, according to the poll.
The survey of 803 registered Latino voters was conducted August 7-10 via telephone with a margin of error of 3.5 points.
“It’s really important that we do engage all the voters to show up whether they’re excited about Donald Trump”, active El Paso County Republican Tony Gioia said.
The online poll shows Clinton with 49.45 percent to Trump’s 45.15 percent. They also trust her more than Trump when it comes making decisions on education (73 to 19 percent), foreign policy (70 to 21 percent), health care (69 to 22 percent) and the economy (61 to 31 percent), among other issues. That unhappiness is particularly evident in Trump’s small lead over Clinton, he said, because Republican presidential candidates typically win by a larger margin. Tim Kaine, compared to only 20 percent who would pick the ticket of Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike on Election Day. Mitt Romney won North Carolina in 2012, but Mr. Obama carried the state in 2008.
The head-to-head lead for Clinton grew from eight points since the July survey from NBC/Marist.
The poll has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.5 percentage points.

“Until Nov. 8, until the last vote is cast we have to stay really hard core and keep up our momentum”, Hershberger said. If you’re still entertaining the theory that the polls are uniformly skewed against Trump, consider the fact that even a survey sponsored by an outlet that’s famously favorable to him is seeing a jump ball in what’s supposed to be a reliably red state. The former governor of New Mexico has broken into double-digit support in OH and Iowa (12 percent in each state) and improved in Pennsylvania (9 percent). “Those numbers might be more telling”.
