Among likely voters in Ohio, Trump stands at 46% to Clinton's 41%, with 8% behind Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2% behind Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
In Florida, likely voters split 47% for Trump to 44% for Clinton, within the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error, and with 6% behind Johnson and 1% backing Stein.

Trump does hold an edge among whites with college degrees in both states; he's up 9 points among that group in Ohio and 8 points in Florida.
Both candidates have the support of roughly 9 in 10 of their own partisans in each state, but Clinton trails Trump among independent voters in both places, with Trump up 10 points among independents likely to vote in Florida and 8 points in Ohio.
Younger voters, who were a key driver of President Barack Obama's support in both 2008 and 2012, are not lining up as solidly behind Clinton in either state, and they are less likely than older voters to make it through a likely voter screen at this point in the campaign, suggesting they are less enthusiastic about voting in this election.

A few weeks ago they were saying Clinton had this all wrapped up and she would coast to a landslide.
Yep. Trump is a clown, it's impossible for him to win against a capable and experienced politician. Magically transformed into "always thought this would be a close race." David Gregory managed to recall the good old days of "Trump's a clown, Clinton in a landslide."
Yep!!
NBC probably right now is filling in the template (changing the dates) for another “poll” to rush out showing that the race is “tightening” (MSM favorite poll word to not show the gop leading) but Hillary still with a “2 to 3 point lead”.
That was just a lame attempt to try to get the Never Trumpers to bolt and split the party, no one in the know really believed that bs, only the gullible lemming leftest followers.
Anyone with half a brain knew that was just Clinton’s convention bounce that always lasts 2-3 weeks.
That bounce is long gone now and Trump is quickly moving up to his convention high numbers in the polls.
Best. Election. Ever.
I think the public manifestation of HiLIARy’s health issues is just beginning. There is something her “honest” doctor is not telling us. I expect many more public collapses in the near future leading up to the elect, no matter how “healthy” her doctor says she is.
And the mental-impairment part is just about to be revealed.
FR is my Mass Media. It's here first, then all others.
Drove around the southwest portion of Ohio yesterday and saw numerous Trump signs and saw NOT ONE Clinton sign. Not one.
If Hillary had a 3 point lead in Florida, would CNN call that a “split?”
A 5% lead in Ohio?! This is huge :-)
Pepe!!
“Trump does hold an edge among whites with college degrees in both states”
That goes against what the media was trying put over on us. Trump supporters are nothing but a bunch of hicks.
If you have Ohio and Florida you have the election.
Donald Trump new show will be White House: The Apprentice
The kids dont even want to be marked as likely voters.
This is GREAT.
WHO IN THE WORLD made her the nominee!! :)
Like a gift from God!!
This latest round of riots and Hillary sh*tting the bed in the debates should Coup De Grace her. Ohio, Florida and NV are over for Hillary, they have been. When I see CNN showing Texas and Georgia as “Leans Trump” you know they are not serious about reality. “Leans” are they kidding really? I will make a prediction, by election day there will not be ONE state where Hillary has a double-digit lead, and that includes California and Hawaii. I think some here will be shocked when they see Trump in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland next month.
