http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/politics/battleground-polls-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/index.html


Washington (CNN) — Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump across the board in a new poll of battleground states.

According to Ballotpedia's battleground poll, Clinton leads Trump:

•51% to 37% in Florida
•45% to 41% in Iowa
•50% to 33% in Michigan
•48% to 38% in North Carolina
•46% to 37% in Ohio
•49% to 35% in Pennsylvania
•45% to 38% in Virginia



Her leads held at nearly the same margins when Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson was included in the poll. And Clinton led Trump 48% to 37% when all states were factored together. With Johnson included, Clinton led Trump 44% to 34%, with Johnson at 13%.

Ballotpedia poll not CNN. CNN just reporting. NT Eric J in MN Jun 2016 #6
Is this a legit polling outfit? If so, this is great. The margins seem almost too good to be true. DanTex Jun 2016 #7

If this is even considered a battleground state late in the race, the Presidential contest is over. The only issue will be what the electoral college margin of victory will be. Hillary does not win NC without carrying VA comfortably.
