Hillary’s Lead Holds Steady In Battleground States

From the latest round of polls issued yesterday afternoon by Quinnipiac:

Hillary Clinton holds double-digit leads among likely voters in Colorado and Virginia and a narrow edge over Donald Trump in Iowa, according to a trio of battleground-state Quinnipiac University polls released Wednesday.

In the head-to-head matchups, Clinton leads Trump 49 percent to 39 percent in Colorado. The race is closest in Iowa, where Clinton holds a 3-point lead over the Republican nominee — 47 percent to 44 percent. But in Virginia, where Trump will campaign Saturday in Fredericksburg, Clinton leads by 12 points — 50 percent to 38 percent.

The top-line margins are largely the same with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein included in a four-way ballot test. In Colorado, Clinton leads Trump 41 percent to 33 percent, with 16 percent choosing Johnson and 7 percent Stein.

About 41 percent of likely Iowa voters backed Clinton, with 39 percent for Trump, 12 percent for Johnson and 3 percent for Stein. Among likely voters in Virginia in the four-way race, Clinton topped Trump 45 percent to 34 percent, while Johnson took 11 percent and Stein grabbed 5 percent.
