Hillary Clinton has developed a significant lead over Donald Trump in both battleground states of Florida and Pennsylvania, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released Sunday.
In Florida, the Deomacratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by three points. The former Secretary of State holds 45 percent support compared to Trump’s 42 percent, within the poll’s margin of error, in the state of Florida. In addition, Gary Johnson of the Libertarian party holds five percent support and the Green Party‘s Jill Stein holds three percent support.
In Pennsylvania, Clinton holds a double-digit advantage over Trump. Clinton holds 49 percent compared to Trump who holds 37 percent. Meanwhile, Johnson trails behind with six percent and Stein even further with four percent. In a two-way contest, Clinton’s advantage over Trump would be 12 points, at 51 percent to 39 percent.
The polls were conducted, however, before this Friday when audio was released featuring Trump making lewd comments about women and discussing his attempt to have an affair with a married woman.
