A poll released by Bloomberg Politics on Wednesday showed Trump with a 5-point lead over his rival Hillary Clinton in the Buckeye State, a significant improvement from polls in the state conducted last month.
48% responded by saying Trump, while 43% said Clinton. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has the support of another 7 percent of voters, while 11 percent remain undecided.
In Maine, the polls are also tightening, according to a new Boston Globe poll, with the possibility of Mr. Trump picking up at least one of the state’s electoral votes. “This is the third SC poll in recent weeks showing the strength of our ticket”.
Of course, there are a lot of polls and each shows something different, but an analysis by Real Clear Politics shows polls now average the candidates just two points apart with Clinton in the lead.
Polls earlier this summer showed a tighter S.C. race, leading S.C. Democrats to declare the reliably red state a toss up.
Among African-American voters, where she led 78-8.
Among voters who think illegal immigrants now working in the United States should be legalized rather than deported, where she led 52-29.
