Sanders fundraises off swing-state polling

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is fundraising off swing-state polling that shows his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, without a strong lead over presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday shows Clinton leading Trump 43 percent to 42 percent in both Florida and Pennsylvania and trailing him 39 to 43 percent in Ohio.

Sanders fared slightly better against Trump in the poll for Florida, leading him 44 percent to 42 percent, and has a wider margin over Trump than Clinton in Pennsylvania, leading 47 to 41 percent. He also is shown to be narrowly ahead of Trump in Ohio, 43 to 41 percent.

“Bernie Sanders beats Donald Trump in every one of these swing states in the latest poll. Hillary Clinton loses Ohio, and polls behind Bernie in the other two states,” Weaver wrote in another variation of the email sent out to supporters.
