New Poll: Clinton Leading In Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado


More good news for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls show her leading in the vital swing states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Colorado:

In the key battleground of Florida, which President Obama won in 2008 and 2012, Clinton is ahead of Trump by five points among registered voters, 44 percent to 39 percent, with the rest saying neither, other or they're undecided.

In North Carolina, which Obama won in 2008 but lost in 2012, the former secretary of state has a nine-point advantage over Trump, 48 percent to 39 percent.

In Virginia, Clinton's lead is 13 points, 46 percent to 33 percent.

And in Colorado, the Democrat is ahead by a whopping 14 points, 46 percent to 32 percent.

Earlier results from NBC News polls showed Clinton ahead in swing states Iowa, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Ed Demaria, of NBC News, points out that if you just add up the states where Clinton has a lead of 9 points or more, she's already past the required 270 electoral votes to win the White House. That's not counting states like Michigan or Wisconsin which are traditionally blue states; or Nevada or Florida with heavy concentrations of Hispanic voters which are breaking decidedly for Clinton.
