Trump has also gotten a boost in Iowa, according to a Monmouth University poll released Thursday. According to Murray, the shift is due to a shoring up of support for Trump. And conversely, 66 percent of hypothetical Trump voters said they picked him because they don’t like Clinton. Revealingly, 51% of likely Trump voters said they’re enthusiastic about voting, while only 43% of likely Clinton voters said the same.
The poll is based on 1,652 online interviews conducted from August 24 to Aug among adults ages 18 to 34, in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio.
