The Republican nominee is enjoying a 5-point lead in Ohio in a new Bloomberg Politics poll. In a head-to-head matchup between Clinton and Trump, he led 48%-43%. Six percent said they wouldn’t vote or would vote for someone else, and 3% were undecided.
The margin remained the same when third-party candidates were added. Trump had 44%, Clinton had 39%, Libertarian Gary Johnson had 10% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 3%. In that case, just 1% said they wouldn’t vote or had another person in mind and 4% said they were not sure.
It is one of the only recent polls that has Trump ahead in the state. Most recent polling has Clinton up between 4 and 7 points.
The Bloomberg Politics poll was taken over some of Clinton’s most difficult days of the cycle. She said “half” of Trump’s supporters were “deplorable” Friday night, and on Sunday she wobbled as she left a 9/11 memorial, while recovering from previously undisclosed pneumonia.
In the race for Ohio's Senate seat, incumbent Sen. Rob Portman had a massive lead in the poll, with 53% compared with former Ohio governor Ted Strickland's 36%.
The poll of 802 likely voters had a margin of error of 3.5 points and was conducted Sept. 9-12.
And in Nevada, Trump had a 2-point lead over Clinton (though that number is within the margin of error) in a new Monmouth University poll.
Trump had the support of 44% of likely voters in Nevada, while Clinton had 42%. Johnson had the backing of 8%; Stein was not included.
In July, Clinton was ahead of Trump by 4 points.
Trump’s lead with voters is not reflected in his favorability rating, which has declined since July. In September, 30% of voters had a favorable view of Trump, while 55% had an unfavorable view. But in July, 35% had a favorable view and 53% had an unfavorable view.
Clinton’s favorability rating, meanwhile, remains exactly the same: 34% favorable, 54% unfavorable.
The Senate race in Nevada also favored the Republican, but was still within the margin of error. Rep. Joe Heck had the support of 46% of likely voters compared with former state attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto, who had 43% backing.
The Monmouth poll was conducted Sept. 11-13, which also follows Clinton's difficult weekend. The poll included 406 likely Nevada voters and had a margin of error of 4.9 points.
