Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in Iowa and Pennsylvania, while the two are tied in the key battleground state of Ohio, according to a trio of new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.

In Iowa, the presumptive Democratic nominee is ahead of Trump by three points among registered voters, 42 percent to 39 percent, which is within the poll's margin of error of plus-minus 3.4 percentage points while a combined 18 percent say neither, other or undecided. (Back in January, Clinton held an eight-point advantage over Trump, 48 percent to 40 percent.)

In Pennsylvania, she leads the presumptive GOP nominee by nine points, 45 percent to 36 percent, with 19 percent saying neither or undecided. (In April, it was Clinton 54 percent, Trump 39 percent.)

But in Ohio, the two candidates are tied at 39 percent each, with 21 percent saying neither, other or undecided. (In March, Clinton held a six-point lead over Trump in the Buckeye State, 48 percent to 42 percent.)

This article is supposedly about midwestern battleground states?

When did Pennsylvania become a midwestern state?

NBC: Our agenda guides our news.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I do not believe she has a nine point lead in PA.

NBC? the network with Lying Brian William??

No i don’t believe that either.

These poll results are at odds with some others I’ve seen in the past couple of days.

We’ll have a better idea where things stand after the conventions, and after polling can fully reflect that people have taken the Dallas massacre and Black Lives Matter violence into account in their choices.

Registered voters....and probably sampling Rats-45%...GOP 25%

Hmmm!

From Politico today on Drudge.

‘New swing-state polls released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University show Trump leading Clinton in Florida and Pennsylvania — and tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio.’

No offense intended, but I think this is more accurate:

NBC: Our agenda guides our propaganda.

[Williams]

Misleading headline, registered voters, different result in PA from other polls. All not good news for Hillary.

[Uncle Sam 911]

You’re right.

[Signalman]

During the primary NBC polls were way off. I’ll take the Q-POLL any day foe accuracy over NBC,

Midwestern, Mid-Atlantic, same difference to the ill and mis educated j/comm “school” “graduates”.

I live in Buffalo. I have always maintained Buffalo is where the mid-west begins. I guess most would say you have to go a couple of hours along the lake to hit the Ohio state line.

Lately though, I am beginning to think that Buffalo straddles a few geographical lines. Not quite Canada, Not quite Eastern United States, Not quite Mid-west, Not quite Appalachia. All of these, though are within a couple of hours drive.

“Hogwash”....just more NBC lies!!!

[Calvin Locke]

Really? In a poll of the Philly’s black panthers, you don’t think that’s possible?

[Buckeye McFrog]

In Pittsburgh we’d rather associate ourselves with the Midwest than with those Philly snobs.

Though when I lived in the Midwest everyone there thought of Pittsburgh as “an East Coast kind of town.”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Statewide, no way she is up 9. She may be up a bit thanks to Philly and Pittsburgh. Though most voters in PA really HATE NAFTA and TPP, which I think in the end plays to Trump’s advantage.
