If Donald Trump’s road to the White House runs through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida, as is widely believed, then the latest poll of potential swing state Pennsylvania represents a major roadblock.
The new poll, released Thursday by Franklin & Marshall, shows Clinton ahead of Trump among likely Pennsylvania voters, 49-38. It was conducted in the four days following the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Among 661 registered voters poll, Clinton’s lead expands to 13 points, 48-35, according to the poll.
The last Franklin & Marshall in March showed Clinton with a similar lead among registered voter, 46-33.
This poll was conducted July 29-August 1 by Franklin & Marshall over the phone and online, based on respondents’ preference. The poll sampled 661 registered Pennsylvania voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percent, and 389 likely Pennsylvania voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 6.3 percent.
