Two new polls of important swing states finds Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump among registered voters.
Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, leads the Republican Trump in Colorado by 10 points and in Virginia by 7. In Colorado, Clinton has 44 percent support to Trump’s 34 percent, with 22 percent saying they aren’t sure, won’t vote, or are voting for someone else. Clinton has the same share of support in Virginia, 44 percent, while Trump is doing slightly better at 37 percent. Similarly, 19 percent of voters in Virginia say they aren’t sure, won’t vote or are voting for someone else.
If there’s a silver lining for Trump in Virginia, it’s this, from Fox:
Both Colorado and Virginia went for Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, and the states are among those Republicans would likely need to win to secure the White House. Clinton’s advantage there stands in contrast to another set of polls out Wednesday from Quinnipiac that show Trump ahead or tied with Clinton in three other important swing states—Pennsylvania, Florida, and Ohio.
