Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has overtaken his opponent Hillary Clinton in the battleground state of Florida, with the race too close to call in two other swing states, a new poll shows Wednesday.
“Donald Trump enters the Republican Convention on a small roll in the three most important swing states in the country,” says Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.
Trump is leading 42-39 percent in Florida, compared to a 47-39 Clinton advantage in a June 21 poll.
In Ohio, Clinton and Trump are tied at 41 percent, while in Pennsylvania, Trump has 43 percent support over Clinton’s 41 percent.
These are slight changes from June 21, when they were tied 40-40 in Ohio and Clinton had a 42-41 lead in Pennsylvania.
