PRESIDENTIAL RACE | New poll: Clinton, Trump virtually tied in Ohio, other swing states

COLUMBUS — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton are statistically tied in Ohio and three other swing states, according to a new poll released this afternoon.

Among Ohio voters questioned over the past week by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, 46 percent were backing the billionaire businessman, versus 45 percent who supported Clinton.

In a four-way race with third-party candidates added to the mix, Trump was ahead 41 percent-37 percent. Both results had a margin of error of about 4 percentage points.

There were similar results in Florida (Trump and Clinton were tied at 47 percent), North Carolina (Clinton 47 percent, Trump 43 percent) and Pennsylvania (Clinton was up 48 percent-43 percent) in head-to-head match-ups.
