Hillary Clinton holds an eight-point lead over Donald Trump in a CBS/YouGov poll of Pennsylvania, continuing her steady lead in the swing state.

Clinton leads, 45-37, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 6 percent and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 2 percent.

CBS/YouGov has not previously polled Pennsylvania on the general election, but a late August poll from Franklin & Marshall University showed Clinton ahead by three points, 41-38, with Johnson at 7 percent and Stein at 2 percent, among likely Pennsylvania voters.

The CBS/YouGov poll was conducted online Aug. 30-Sept. 2 among 1,091 likely Pennsylvania voters, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Trump, 45.1 to 40.5.
