Hillary Clinton is leading in Florida and Pennsylvania while Donald Trump has an edge in Arizona and Nevada, according to a new CNN/ORC poll of the four battleground states released Wednesday.
{mosads}Clinton (D) leads Trump (R) in Pennsylvania by 4 points, 48 percent to 44 percent, and in Florida by 2 points, 49 percent to 47 percent.
Both presidential nominees have campaigned frequently in those two states. Trump has four events scheduled in Florida on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Sunshine State is crucial to Trump’s chances of victory. The GOP nominee has few paths to the required 270 electoral votes without winning Florida’s 29 on Election Day.
In Nevada, Trump leads by 6 points, 49 percent to 43 percent. And in Arizona, Trump leads by 5 points, 49 to 44 percent.
Nevada’s results are good news for Trump, who has been surging in the state. Clinton led Nevada by more than 5 points in a polling average last week, but Trump now has a half-point edge in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Oct. 27–Nov. 1 and included 769 likely voters in Arizona, 773 in Florida, 790 in Nevada, and 799 in Pennsylvania. The margin of error for all four states is 3.5 points.
