Democrat Hillary Clinton has lost her lead over Republican Donald Trump in the crucial swing state of Florida, a new poll shows, as voters question whether she is trustworthy.
Trump is now ahead of Clinton by 42 percent to 39 percent, according to the Quinnipiac University poll. A month ago, the same survey had Clinton up by 47-39 percent. Her 8-point advantage has evaporated since FBI Director James Comey slammed the former secretary of state as “extremely careless” in her use of private email while in government.
The FBI recommended no charges, and the Justice Department agreed, closing its investigation into Clinton’s emails. But the political damage had been done.
Trump does even better over Clinton when the poll takes into account two third-party contenders, Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. In that case, Trump bests Clinton 41-36 percent, with 7 percent for Johnson and 4 percent for Stein. Candidates need to average 15 percentage points in national polls to make the general-election debate stage.
The wide Florida swing can’t be definitively blamed on Clinton’s email scandal, Quinnipiac cautioned.

“Vanished” is quite the understatement. It’s easy to find it. Look next to “Trump.”
How they can show a graphic that says “neck-and-neck” when he’s ahead by 13 is beyond me.
I can’t imagine HRC winning Florida.
OK, it’s independents being counted. But still, he has 5 points on her.
Vanished? It was never there to begin with, all the media lying to make Hillary look good, can’t do it anymore, Trump is gaining to much ground...
Bye Hillary, maybe in the year 3030 you might have a chance....
This is good news, but what the hell is the matter with CO and VA with the Beast ahead according to Fox News Poll?
CO I maybe can understand with all the potheads there since they legalized reefer.
But what about VA?
I can imagine her stealing Florida. I can imagine her doing anything illegal.
Plus Mr. Trump is getting help from what has been going on in the past week alone.
That is why there are vote monitoring organizations in this country that work to prevent and fight voter fraud.
Thanks #blackliesmatter.
Your staging protests which shut down major roadways and got violent (despite the MSM lies otherwise) THE DAY AFTER Dallas could not have done us more good.
Reminder: blacks are 12% of the population due to them aborting the next generation on a regular basis.
KEEP IT UP BLIESM!!
Lots of FedGov employees/contractors in NoVa who know which one of the candidates are going to keep the Federal leviathan fed and rested.
Obama endorsing her was just another nail in the coffin.
More filthy lies from the deranged counter-royalists!
All of her subjects love Queen Hillary!
May she rule over us for a thousand years!
The Democrat Royalty only has the best of wishes for the serfs!
DC fed employees bedroom state.
Flyin ashtrays alert! ...
the dirty secret is that Hitlery never HAD a lead.
Watching West Palm TV is hilarious...she is pounding the airwaves with anti-Trump ads....burning through money like crazy.
She fails because no one is buying her BS.
Northern Virginia has been invaded by northeast liberals and is outvoting the rest of VA.
Hillary will do ANYTHING to win.
Watch her cough to death two days before the election to corner the sympathy vote.
