Buckle up for the next six months: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are effectively tied in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday. Split along lines of gender, race and age, the presumptive Republican nominee and the likely Democratic nominee appear poised for tight battles in those states, though Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders performs better against Trump than Clinton does and is also seen more favorably by voters in all three states. No presidential candidate has won an election since 1960 without winning at least two of the three states.

I thought Trump had a good lead in FL: guess not!
It shouldn’t even be close, since Cankles is the presumptive POTUS.
Trump is going to win in a landslide of historic proportions.
Not good news for Hillary, the Dems, the GOPe, and other NeverTrump people. Trump hasn’t even started his campaign on Shrillary yet
I know we need to put the primaries to rest but I don’t believe Cruz would be close in any of those states. I believe we’ll have to win two of the three to win. Hopefully, we can win all three.
I think you are having a good time working to elect Hillry.
When is the last time the counted the military votes?
How many election cycles have we been hearing about ballot chicanery that resulted in our military men’s votes not being counted?
I’m surprised he’s within striking distance I these states. But if he can pull it off in each then he just needs to worry about Hillary in Virginia and Colorado.
I love how they point out how Sanders would do against Trump. Perhaps we should hear more about how Kasich would do against Sanders. You know, all the possibilities.
We were Told both would beat Hilary.
Pick Rubio with the South Florida Cuban vote Florida will go Trump unless they get 144% of the Vote like Allen West's opponent did
Quinniac is usually skewed to the left. Apparently the polls in the Miami area are pathetic for Trump but the rest of the state makes up for it. From what I read it’s 52-25 against Trump in Miami with 20% of registered Republicans supporting Hillary. I’m guessing it’s largely the Hispanic vote that’s doing it.
It’s good news that Pennsylvania is now a “swing state” rather than a “blue state”.
Go, Trump!!!!
If it is tight now, it won’t even be close by November. Hillary will be like marrying your grandmother to men - yes that abhorrent.
Dead Heat = Trump wins
Hillary has been in office for the past 30 years and incumbent rules apply. She will likely lose every state where she is polling bellow 50%.
And she is probably at her ceiling right now. It’s hard to believe that anybody is still undecided about her.
These polls do not shock me. National polls have shown a slow but steady drift towards Trump. Clinton's margin has been getting smaller and smaller.
I attribute this to Republican consolidation, for one thing. The "never" movement is getting a little marginalized at this point.
Also, I think as the race has definitely narrowed to a Trump/Clinton race, it's in Trump's favor. While I certainly agree that there are plenty of voters who don't like him, I think they can be persuaded. I think relatively few of them are going to just wake up one day and think, "I'm voting for Hillary!"
Registered voter poll.
Overall, I’ll take this as good news.
Being competitive in Pennsylvania is crucial. If Trump wins there, it is hard to picture a scenario where he doesn’t win the Presidency.
Even the Democrats aren't crazy enough to give Bernie the nomination. Trump would eat him for lunch.
If Hitlery drops out -- either because of her health or legal problems, they'll dust off Creepy Uncle Joe, who's waiting, "tanned, rested and ready" in the wings.
Trump is doing better in polls than Reagan was doing at this time in 1980 and Bush 41 was doing at this time in 1988. If Trump is tied in the swing states already, that is amazing!
If Trump wins Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, then he wins the election. If he wins PA, then he’ll likely also win NJ.
JMHO, but it’s almost certain, and especially with Christie in line for an administration job as Attorney General or the like.
