Polls: Clinton up 8 points over Trump in Florida; tied in Ohio
Hillary Clinton has pulled out to an 8-point lead over Donald Trump in Florida and is even with the businessman in Ohio, according to swing-state polls released Tuesday.
Clinton leads Trump, 47 to 39 percent, in Florida, the largest of the presidential election swing states, while the two candidates take 40 percent each in Ohio, according to Quinnipiac University polling.
{mosads}Clinton held a 1-point lead over Trump in Florida last month and has erased Trump’s 4-point lead in Ohio.
Trump has lost support among men in Florida, while Clinton has seen an uptick in support among women. More Democrats in the Sunshine State back Clinton, 93 percent, than Republicans back Trump, 82 percent.
In Pennsylvania, Clinton continues to narrowly lead Trump, 42 to 41 percent, virtually unchanged from the 1-point lead Clinton held over the businessman last month.
A majority of voters in all three states found Trump’s claim that a federal judge overseeing a fraud case against Trump University could not be impartial because of the judge’s Mexican heritage was racist.
That includes 58 percent of voters in Florida, 59 percent of voters in Ohio and 58 percent of voters in Pennsylvania.
The polling was conducted June 8–19 via landlines and cellphones. The margin of error for the 975 Florida voters is 3.1 percentage points, while the margin of error for the 971 Ohio voters is 3.1 points and for the 950 Pennsylvania voters is 3.2 points.
